As a creative, I am energized and inspired by others' creativity in both the digital and physical world, and use that inspiration to propel my own designs forward. I thrive within well-designed physical spaces that energize and encourage human interaction alongside authentic and motivated people.As a leader and team player, my goal is to always elevate, equip, and motivate the talented people around me so we can deliver modern, refreshing, and easy-to-understand designs. I serve my team well when I cast an inspiring creative vision that compliments the business needs at hand or get into the trenches on a tough problem and help brainstorm a new, refreshing approach. As a clear and effective communicator, I speak the language of executives, managers, designers, developers, project managers, and everyday humans, and can clearly translate between these groups. I understand that everyone has different priorities and I strive to find harmony among them all. As a researcher, analyzer, and strategist, I dig deep to understand a market and its people well and then thrive on crafting compelling messaging, positioning, and branding that feels fresh and genuine. I love seeing how people, technology, and design are constantly challenging one another to think differently and evolve.As a person with leisure time, I immerse myself in design-focused print magazines, collect inspiration and material samples from design-forward retail spaces, check-out coffee table books from the library, search through antique and thrift stores, and study modern architecture, fashion, photography, and color. I'm especially taken with the visual and creative approach of new sci-fi movies and series like Devs, Ex Machina, Swan Song, and Severance.
