Everything I've learned about communication comes from talking in front of a room full of half-naked humans. Teaching thousands of yoga classes also teaches you a thing or two about paying attention to what isn't being said out loud.

Years before I ever studied advertising, I was a history major. History teaches us that power, the people who have it, the people who don't, is almost always about perception and context. As a college professor, I learned that when people don't understand you, it's always your fault, never theirs. As a team lead, I’ve learned that every person is capable of moving mountains when the conditions are right.

I'm a multi-disciplinary creative based in California with over a decade of experience across agency, freelance, and in-house roles. I've worked with clients in food, hospitality, real estate, and tech—becoming an armchair expert in everything from hot dogs to healthcare. 

Currently at Esri leading a team of designers, and planning to keep going until the robots take over.
