I am a creative leader who is passionate about designing experiences that help businesses grow and inspire people to live healthier and happier lives. I have 15 years of experience leading multidisciplinary teams to develop product, communication, and environmental design strategies for emerging and established organizations.I studied visual communication design at The Ohio State University before honing my skills at Pentagram in New York where I contributed to award-winning projects for museums and educational institutions. In 2012, I decided to focus on my passions of food, well-being, and community—collaborating with retail and hospitality companies around the world to connect communities through the power of food.I now work at Gensler in Seattle as Design Director of Brand Experience where I help organizations bring interdisciplinary teams and stakeholder groups together around a shared purpose that builds community and drives change.
