Passionate about creativity, people, and business, I am a big-picture thinker with boundless vision, strong business acumen, and natural charisma (so I’ve been told). An alchemist of sorts, I transform organizations through creativity.
An award-winning designer with over 17 years of experience, I’ve worked with major corporations, large and small nonprofits, and startups. Drawing on my experience working with corporate executives and nonprofit boards, I use a design thinking framework and change management training to help cross-functional teams find common ground. I’ve directed creative efforts for leading organizations, developing unique strategies that align business objectives, culture, and brand.
Fascinated by paradox and the human condition, I thrive in ambiguity because it demands clarity. You will often find me at philosophical intersections: where logic meets intuition, where best practice meets innovation, where change meets stability.
Whether it’s designing a process, a brand, an organizational structure, a new service line, or a marketing campaign, I’m at my best when I’m elbow-deep on multi-disciplinary, human-centered projects with a clear purpose. A conduit for positive energy to flow into your organization, I’m committed to bringing kindness, service, and compassion into each and every interaction.

Core Values
If we’re going to work together, we have to be able to work together. I consider these core values to be prerequisites in any partnership:
Trust. Given the choice, wouldn’t you rather work with someone you trust? (We always have a choice.)
Clarity. Clarity begets integrity: be clear on who you are (and are not).
Willingness. Nothing is going to change if nothing changes. Embrace the process.
