Guiding Principles

01

People First

I'm 100% extroverted, so I really like working with a team and building relationships. That also means I care deeply about the people I'm designing for.

02

Worst Case Scenario is "No"

I'm not afraid to advocate for myself and opportunities. The worst that could happen? Someone tells me no, and onto the next!

03

Stay Curious

I always take time to play and experiment. Every room I walk into is an opportunity to learn.

04

Be Kind

I like being around nice people, and I strive to be one too.
