About

Throughout my career as a designer and business thinker I’ve been fortunate to work with and learn from some talented and passionate people, and at times act as a mentor to those coming up behind me.

Some of the clients I’ve worked with include: Microsoft, Starbucks Coffee, Columbia University, Spot Insurance, S2 Capital, Jacob’s Pillow School For Dance, Austin East Ciders, Abogadas MX, and the Chelan County Public Utility District (PUD).

When I’m not doing design work or thinking about business, you can find me bicycling, playing a friendly game of tennis, or at the dog park with our little dachshund Timotea!
