I help organizations and founders move through moments of complexity, transition or reinvention—through storytelling, systems thinking and structural strategy that holds up under pressure.

Right now, I'm open to two kinds of opportunities…

THE RIGHT ROLE

I'm open to the right full-time or contract role—ideally one where I can lead strategy, shape communications, and drive messaging that resonates.

SELECT CONSULTING PROJECTS

I take on select consulting work focused on messaging, strategy, and systems—especially during moments of change or transition.

Get in touch to request case studies, reports, or a résumé or to book a time to chat via Zoom. Connect with me on LinkedIn.

Project
SHOWCASE

I have extensive expertise helping small businesses solve problems, scale up, and achieve their goals. With experience in communications, marketing, design, and strategic consulting, I've worked in diverse industries to develop and execute strategies that drive brand awareness and engagement.

I originally hired Uma to keep my feet to the fire as my small business scales. I quickly realized what a strong collaborator she is, and she's now regularly ghostwriting, an accountability partner, and elevating all Radius communications. I am so grateful I hired her to navigate how Radius shows up during COVID and as a values-driven company committed to antiracism.

The projects I worked with Üma have been some of the smoothest projects, the best launches, and happiest clients in my years as an agency owner. Üma is very communicative and responsive, but beyond that, Üma understands the power of storytelling. She infuses her work with a depth of feeling that clients love.
