Everything I've learned about communication comes from being in a room full of half-naked humans. Teaching thousands of yoga classes also teaches you to pay attention to what's not being said.

As a history major, I learned that power is mostly about perception and context, years before I ever studied advertising. As a college professor, I learned that if people don't understand you, it’s because you don’t understand them. 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.
