    I am the owner and lead strategist for Odd Reason. I take a collaborative approach to project management and help clients identify the unique or "odd reasons" that they are different from competitors. I then work to develop and execute creative ways to tell their story and explain their services or products using a clear and consistent strategy for content or design.
