About a year and a half ago, I found myself in one of life's definitive transitional periods. It took me a week of self-reflection, and internal dialogue to see the opportunity I had in front of me. I decided to pursue the merger of a life-long passion and spontaneously acquired skillset into a career with gratifying trajectory, and without a finite ceiling. When I found Coda, it was serendipity at its finest. After earning my seat and building trust within the tightly knit team- I found my abilities were so incredibly cohesive with the Coda business model; that I was able to greatly influence the inevitable acceleration of their newer client facing, one-stop shop brick & mortars. At the Coda studio in Malibu, I found my first taste of passion and career trajectory. Since being here, I've enjoyed the pleasures of many lightbulb moments that affirmed my perceived strengths & allowed me to add immense value at the same time. Engraining some of my conceptions into the Coda model have been immensely fruitful for both the soul and the bottom line.I've had the great fortune of working with incredibly talented, driven and impactful professionals within the realms of design, manufacturing & buying since making the transition. That fortunate byproduct, coupled with my background of business & design continue to propel me further in my trajectory everyday- providing validation to my long-term goals and continued appreciation for my decision to take a measured leap into the world I felt an organic connection with.
