I believe outstanding work results from a team fostering connections at both personal and professional levels.
How I work
Design is all about communication – between creatives, stakeholders, and audience. I foster effective communication through strong research, strategy, and collaborative review.
My Process
Understand. Research and ask questions.
Define. The purpose and objectives.
Develop. Design possible solutions.
Collaborate. Review with stakeholders.
Finalize. Use feedback to improve & deliver.
Evaluate. Reflect on projects success.
Speed Round
1. I quickly adapt to new design styles, software, and teams.
​
2. I skillfully navigate time and budget constraints to fulfill project objectives.
​
3. I use carefully selected GIFs to boost morale.
How I live
When I'm away from my desk I try to balance screen time with all things hands-on.
Nothing resets me quite like a long walk with my dog, an audiobook, word games, taste-testing my partner's kitchen creations, or a theme party with friends.
My Values
Empathy. Fosters meaningful connection.
Resilience. Enables growth and strength.
Adaptability. Ensures (eventual) success.
Open-Mindedness. Embraces diversity.
Professionalism. Builds trust & reliability.
Optimism. Boosts morale and trajectory.
Speed Round
1. I listened to 117 books last year.

3. I write "top" and "bottom" on the corresponding edges of my fitted bedsheets.
