Roche Bobois is an international luxury brand of furniture and accessories, based in Paris with 240 stores worldwide. Fulfilled multiple roles at growing US branch, as corporate needs evolved.

As founder and principal consultant of Free Agency, fundraised, built a network of consultants, established collaborative projects with large nonprofits and consulted to businesses to develop and promote environmentally sound, sustainable products and services. The name Free Agency reflects the idea that every individual and organization has agency - the ability to act - to help realize the shift to sustainability. Free Agency also refers to the organization's progressive structure: a network of communications experts specializing in PR, marketing, graphic design, video and writing. Free Agency employed both traditional avenues such as story placement in mainstream media, e.g. CNN Headline News, The Associated Press, Newsweek and NPR, as well as more creative modes of communications including film festivals; guerrilla marketing promoting eco fashion and organic products; and social media. We leveraged the whole matrix of communications to capture clients' values and maximize brand exposure. Now primarily a referral service.
