I use empathy and innovative thinking to solve challenging problems. I grew up reading medical journals and painting portraits, and I’m always looking for connections in seemingly unconnected things. And I’m a serial hobbyist constantly teaching myself new skills.
I find purpose in design because brainstorming, innovating processes, and problem-solving are the skills needed to survive an alien/zombie apocalypse—so I graduated from Designation to excel at them. I think of diversity and inclusion as action verbs, and I’m happiest when uncovering the root causes of people’s issues and desires. I’m excited to use my skills as a designer and expert in creating safe-spaces to have challenging, authentic and meaningful conversations that lead to powerful design solutions for users and clients.
