Hi, I’m Kira. I’m a marketing leader, creative thinker, storyteller, and enthusiastic believer that the best work gives people a reason to care, connect, and show up.

For more than nine years, I’ve built brands, campaigns, partnerships, and experiences across arts and culture, consumer products, entertainment, education, healthcare, and community-focused organizations. My work spans integrated and experiential marketing, brand strategy, strategic partnerships, content and creative development, audience engagement, and program leadership.

I’m happiest somewhere between the big idea and making it actually happen. I love bringing together creative teams, partners, vendors, media, and stakeholders to turn an idea on paper into something people can experience in the real world. Along the way, I’ve marketed major events at Seattle Center, helped grow a statewide children’s oral health program, launched consumer products, written and produced a zero-proof cocktail book, and led campaigns that have reached millions of people.

Outside of my day job, I serve as Marketing & PR Lead for the Ol’ Crimson Booster Club, helping steward college football’s most beloved fan tradition and occasionally getting to work with the teams behind ESPN College Football… Including being in a few CFB commercials and flying to Dublin to escort the flag to the College Gameday set. I’m also developing Wine Country Kitchen, a personal recipe project and future cookbook for which I write, test, style, and photograph the recipes.

When I’m not working, there’s a good chance I’m planning my next trip, reading a book, experimenting with a recipe, or adding another destination to an already unreasonable travel wish list. I’m a voracious reader, cookbook collector, enthusiastic traveler, cool aunt to many, and mom to two bulldogs and one very opinionated Siamese cat.

I’m endlessly curious about the things that bring people together, whether that’s a great brand, a live event, a beloved book, a shared meal, a sports tradition, or an unforgettable trip.

And that curiosity tends to find its way into everything I create.
