What drives me?
First Things, First
Don't let my all-black goth aesthetics fool you, I'm very much a curious, creative, nature kid at heart. By nature, I've always been an innovative problem solver so my chosen profession is no surprise. For as long as I can remember, I've loved learning about how things work and experimenting to produce transformational results. Like a well-watered plant, I thrive in environments where I get to learn new things, collaborate with others, and be challenged to analyze problems to craft creative solutions.
Always in Awe
Captivated by art/design, human psychology and the diversity of nature, along with my lineage of educators, doctors/nurses and service members, it's only fitting I found a plot in the ever-evolving garden of human-centered focus. A creative designer, in the world of user experience.
“This world is but a canvas to our imagination.”

My Daily Interests
In my free time, I love exploring the worlds of
art (moss art is my current obsession);
music (have you seen a harp guitar!?);
culture (I learn something new almost every day);
community (off-the-grid tiny house community anyone?); and
mentorship (teaching workshops to aspiring designers=priceless).
What I imagine…
I hope to inspire others in a dualistic way similar to my personality: I imagine a world where we (especially BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, Native/Indigenous, and disabled humans) are free to live as our most authentic selves and, through that, we simultaneously build better ways for communities to coexist equitably in the world.
