My passion is creating solutions by way of design thinking and inclusive design.
I’ve helped develop and nurture brands through a mixture of mediums / industries spanning from tech to hospitality to community organizations.
I have an affinity for fried chicken sandwiches, calm, rainy days, and collaborating with diverse teams to foster talent while leading clients to success.
