Hey there! I'm a lifelong maker, entrepreneur, and human-centered designer. Currently I work as a design thinking facilitator at a venture production studio, and an economics researcher and financial coach.

Over my life I've built collaborative theatre and learning experiences, developed digital tech platforms for progressive orgs, gotten awards for LGBTQ+ art, and lived an iconoclastic life as I traveled the US in a van :)

One thing I know for certain is: life is full of roadblocks, and people are ingenious at getting past them. I LOVE that I get to work with creative teams and individuals to envision, plan, and help execute their visions, zooming past their roadblocks into insight and action. I'm all about a can-do attitude + the tools TO do and the will to dive in.

I research, test, and make writing, products, and digital experiences. I am a huge advocate for thoughtful, inclusionary and accessible design because then more people can participate and I think that's a solid positive. I've presented at SXSW, Yale, MIT, Lesbians Who Tech Mtl and many delightful lowbrow bars and small cafes across the US and Canada.
