I have built a career turning vision into tangible realities. With my background in art history and global technology, design was a natural progression for me. A self-taught designer, I blend a can-do attitude with an understanding of the social, technological, political, and cultural influences that inform design. As a doctoral student in design, my work and leadership are informed by research in design futures and culture change with recognition that we create the futures we want through inclusive and caring actions. I bring a hands-on approach to both projects and team management and building, along with a willingness to dive into the work alongside my team to make sure that top priorities and goals are met.
