I've spent a lifetime collecting perspectives in unexpected places. I'm a California-based creative with over a decade of experience in agency, freelance, and in-house roles. I've worked with clients in food, hospitality, and tech, becoming an armchair expert in everything from hot dogs to healthcare.

I studied history and philosophy until I was told to choose a real major, so I chose art school. I've been a yoga teacher, a college professor, and a yoga college professor. An art director who makes websites. A system designer who writes copy. And a strategist who nerds out on typography. My favorite role is the one that helps others succeed, even if it means changing my hat every single day.

Today, I'm at Esri leading a team of designers. And I plan to keep going until the robots take over.
