I am a creative leader and brand strategist with over 8 years of experience in agency, in-house and as a freelancer. I've worked with some amazing people across the board in SaaS, CPG, finance, media, healthcare, education and non-profits. 

 

I believe in a lingo-free, participatory approach to design. The lightbulb moment in a client or partner's eyes when they understand the true value of design strategy makes up for all the 'Make it pop!'s I've gotten over my career (well, almost).

​

I have been so fortunate to work with and lead design teams who are cross-collaborative, empathetic and strategic. Too often is design seen as a siloed function and I actively work to change that everywhere I go. I've led multiple workshops with clients and internal stakeholders to help foster design cultures that impact the entire organization.

​

In my free time I like to climb big rocks, improve my tarot reading skills and make up elaborate stories about the birds that visit our feeder.
