Meet the Lien's

We are a passionate bunch. We do stuff outside as much as possible. We have three rules in our home. 


Be kind (not to be confused with "nice"). Meaning we are considerate of others, even in an argument. 


Work hard. This does not mean no rest. It means be grateful to be responsible or counted on. If you made the team - show up and give your best. 


Be honest. Honesty runs deeper than "the facts". Honesty is about intentions. Check your motives and ensure you mean well.


Career Snapshot

My career did not start in a creative department. 


It started in a service-centered automotive dealer group that valued leadership, character and responsibility. I was trained to see people, not cars, and to measure success by value created, not money collected.


I later moved into creative work, carrying those same principles with me. I began as a filmmaker in advertising, earning a full-time in-house creative role where storytelling was rooted in real human insight, not spectacle. 


That path led naturally into creative leadership and introduced me to brand strategy, where I learned how stories shape culture, trust and long-term relationships.


I work with the wiring of a storyteller, the heart of a teacher and the curiosity of an inventor. 


While I continue to serve Fortune 500 organizations, I find particular joy in supporting mid-size and smaller businesses where the impact is essential than the spotlight and where work is tangible, people matter and pride in craft still leads.
