I spent 15 years as a VP Group Creative Director in advertising agencies before burning out, moving to Portugal in 2024, and rebuilding my career on my own terms. I now run a creative brand consultancy and help other professionals navigate the logistics of leaving America without torpedoing their income.

I'm not a visa lawyer or an immigration consultant. I'm someone who actually did this move recently, made every mistake in the book, and figured out how to keep my career intact in the process. And now I've been helping Americans relocate for the past year.

I don't do aspirational "follow your dreams" content. I do realistic timelines, honest budgets, and actionable plans for people who are serious about leaving but don't know where to start.
