creative strategist | brand manager | writer | entrepreneur
Hi, I'm Malcolm.
I love branding, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
I do the most thinking when I'm at a grocery store, or late at night in my notes app. I do the best thinking at the gym, or when I'm practicing mindfulness.
I'm a lover of strategy games. Chess and Jiu Jitsu inform my thought process more than I'd like to admit. But usually, in life, there's a best move on the board or an angle that's open, regardless of how bad of a situation you're in. And I think that a lot of the time, the most beautiful move is also the simplest one.
I connect well with people. I'm curious and enjoy conversation. And I've learned to match people's vibes.
I think it's cringe to call myself a natural leader. But I do need to acknowledge that my enneagram and MBTI told me that I am. And unironically, when I was the first one to step up and made the West Sylvan Middle School Clash of Clans and Clash Royale clans, that was me being a leader. Same with coaching soccer, being risk manager of my fraternity, personal training.
I have admittedly been known to experience shiny object syndrome. I also do that ADHD-hyperfocus thing. Sometimes these work against me, but when they combine, they keep me going non-stop. And that's when I feel like I can make the best work of my life.
I don't know exactly what my dream job is, but I know it's in an environment that keeps me there.
I also love animals.
