Personal 

Hi! I’m Esther, a resourceful, creative, and dynamic individual. 
 
I believe that jobs and roles don’t exist in isolation — I enjoy finding new ways to make connections across ideas, processes, spaces and people. This has developed in me what I’d call my special sauce in my approach to marketing (and also in life): the ability to converge ideas and concepts from multiple touch points, in order to find new solutions and to enhance a user’s experience with a brand. 
 
My personal interest and experience in entrepreneurship helps me approach problem-solving for a company with an entrepreneur’s mindset — to execute ideas from a multi-pronged approach (marketing, web experience, retail spaces, collaborative content generation with audience etc) to create integrated solutions to achieve a company’s goals. It also helps me be resourceful to find ways to outsource certain processes to relevant people, to increase the efficiency of systems. 
 
I thrive in an environment that is nurturing, open, and which gives me the space to be creative. I am most fired up when it comes to pioneering new projects and finding new, innovative solutions to problems; to create systems that are repeatable, sustainable and scalable. 
 
In my personal life, my interests range from traditional and digital painting, to music improvisation and hosting creative gatherings. I am constantly learning and playing with new art techniques via short courses online, and merging them across different mediums. 
 
I love encouraging people to find that authentic spark within them — it brings me great joy when others also discover the value and beauty that our unique and authentic selves can provide to the world! Preferring collaboration over competition, I believe in spurring each other on in our dreams, and collectively achieving so much more together.
