At the intersection where education, technology, public health, and culture meet user-centered design, I play Frogger. Collecting stories, making connections, and mastering this space in order to prevent others from splooshing as they attempt to navigate this intricately nuanced environment.

Since my toddler years getting lost in grocery stores only to be found in the produce section asking strangers to “tell me more” about their lives, I’ve had a passion for storytelling. Seeking ways to relate to others through empathy, I believe that stories are our best vehicle to design a world of understanding.

Working with you, I want to continue to help you give life to your stories. To help you find your voice, pick up your pen, and start writing your own story instead of letting your circumstances write it for you. In writing your story, I’ll walk with you as you find ways to bring it to life and to design connections that make life more meaningful.

In life, we are all designers. Whether you design for the world, a community, a program, or just for yourself, we are all influential in the design that creates beauty in the world. I am a designer, an educator, a programmer, and a storyteller. I design deep personal experiences that lead to life-long connections; I educate and empower people to live their best versions of themselves; I program people through empathy, and I live to tell the tale in order to inspire others to keep designing.
