My name is Cleonix. (Pronounced CLEE-OH-NEESE)

For a long time, I wanted to change it—to fit in, to blend with the crowd, to feel like I belonged. But over time, I realized my name is not something to hide. It’s my identity, a reflection of who I am, and a reminder that individuality is something to embrace, not erase. I was named after my great-grandmother, who immigrated from Italy to the U.S., carrying with her a story of resilience, change, and new beginnings. Her journey is part of mine, and today, I carry that name with pride.

That realization shaped the way I see the world—and the way I approach storytelling. I believe a brand is more than a business; it’s a living, breathing extension of the people behind it. It holds the late nights, the bold ideas, the risks taken, the passion poured into it. Just as I’ve learned to honor the layers of my own story, I help brands do the same—bringing their essence to life through storytelling that resonates on a deeper level.

I don’t believe in generic messaging or surface-level marketing. People don’t connect with brands because of flashy ads or clever taglines; they connect with stories that feel real to them. Stories that make them feel a sense of belonging and understanding. That’s where I come in. I create organic, heartfelt communication that builds relationships, not just recognition. My approach isn’t about selling—it’s about connecting, inspiring, and making people feel something.

I’ve never fit into just one box. I’m a creative communicator, a photographer, a volunteer, a storyteller, an environmentalist, a solo traveler, and an artist. And just like people, brands are layered, complex, and full of purpose. My work is about uncovering that depth and translating it into words, visuals, and experiences that speak to the heart.

Because when a story is told with authenticity, the right people will always feel it.
