Hello there!

I am a creative leader and design professional with over ten years of experience. I work at the intersection of research, strategy, content, and visual design and specialize in helping companies and organizations build innovative products, platforms, services, and experiences. 

Currently, I work with the executive leadership team at Formula.Monks, where I collaborate closely with them to understand business needs, guide strategic narratives, and design compelling presentations for diverse audiences. At Media.Monks, I lead content design and strategy on the global creative team dedicated to the Amazon Sustainability account. 

Previously, I ran my own studio as a freelance Creative Director and design consultant, designing brands and services for global companies. I am an alumnus of IDEO and IDEO.org.

In addition to design, I am a professional sailor. I have sailed under the Golden Gate Bridge over 300 times and spent 6 months at sea in the South Pacific sailing from Tahiti to Tonga on a boat named Otra Vida (Other Life).

I was born and raised in Seattle, WA. I currently reside in Chattanooga, TN and am open to full-time and freelance opportunities, either remote or on the West Coast of the US.
