Education
BFA Visual Communication Design, 2010 University of Washington — Seattle
I have experience across all phases of the design process and working on different teams has had a profound impact on my own process. One of the most important things I’ve learned throughout my career is that clear and timely communication (whether it be verbal, written, or visual) is what makes teams successful and drives innovation. My favorite projects have been for clients and brands that value Design and how it can influence what we do today by starting with the end in mind through envisioning.
I am passionate about crafting experiences that are functional as well as beautiful. I believe design is a powerful tool that can impact and inspire people and organizations for the better. I value being part of a team environment that is collaborative, diverse, and inclusive.
But wait, there’s more
I love challenging myself to do things I’ve never done. In the past, I’ve helped found a volleyball club, recently learned to ski, and biked 545 miles from SF to LA and raising $5,000+ for AIDS/LifeCycle (I’m doing it again in 2025, donate here). This year, I will be running my first marathon in Honolulu. Someday, I would like to start a business, complete a triathlon, and do a cross country roadtrip by motorcycle. They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks—well, let’s prove them wrong.
