From strategic systems thinking to the details of product design, I draw from the context of culture, community and commerce to define solutions.
I listen to understand and collaborate with teams to use the best methods and processes to achieve design, product and business goals. As a designer and educator with an entrepreneurial spirit, I help businesses and organizations define and launch new ventures or grow existing ones. I am particularly interested in how we can use design and technology for societal change, improving people’s lives.
I started in international relations and dance, but quickly fell in love with design. It has been a discipline that allows me to bring together my passion for movement, creativity, people and business. I studied at AC4D (Austin Center for Design) and have had the privilege to work alongside innovative leaders and thoughtful designers, engineers, students and entrepreneurs.
I like to spend my time exploring and learning whether that be traveling or riding my bike somewhere new. I am passionate about the arts and the role they play in society along with design.
