With everything I do, I bring my whole self.

But since you're here, let's focus on design.

I've worked with companies ranging from startups to nonprofits to Fortune 100 which has given me insight to how different companies operate and how to be flexible and versatile for all situations.

I seek knowledge and understanding and can easily step into the shoes of anyone to try and understand who they are and why they do what they do. In UX design, I am able to easily see the experience through the lens of the user and understand how to best serve their needs.

I'm an advocate for understanding ourselves and following our own unique path. When it comes to a design, I'm seeking to work with a company that is clear on their mission and their “WHY,” so I can ensure our decisions, designs, and actions are aligned to the core with integrity.

I am a collaborative teammate and am practicing harmonious leadership. I love working with others and utilizing our strengths to create experiences and products for our best light to shine. I naturally take all sides into consideration, and through practice, I have cultivated trust in myself and my ability to make decisions for our highest good.

I am an information-synthesizer and connector. I gather and gather and gather information—friends have called me a filing cabinet of resources and a spiritual library—then connect and output what is necessary and relevant for the situation.

With hawk-like vision, I zoom out to see the big picture of our mission and vision and future impact, as well as zoom in to see when something needs to be adjusted by one pixel.

I am a dreamer grounded in practicality. I hold our highest potential and encourage everyone to keep that vision in mind while we build with the resources that we have. I see roadblocks as an opportunity to re-examine. Is it a speed-bump that requires time, patience, and persistence? Or is it a solid brick wall where we need to take a step back and find another way of least resistance?

In addition to my background in design and UX since 2008, I have been studying yoga, meditation, psychology, business, and mysticism since 2015 which has led to approaching life and work with a sense of internal peace and joy.
