I am interested in creating and amplifying meaningful engagements for people – whether that’s with a product, a service, or a group of people. I believe that contextual immersion meaningful dialogue, and co-creation are some of the best ways to understand the identities, needs, and desires of individuals and keep their stories at the center of any creative process.
I love field trips, hard questions, complex ecosystems, art that surprises me, and good food. I am an independent consultant, a mother, President of the Board of the Rude Mechs, a mentor in the Austin design community, and a native Austinite.
design research, product strategy, workshop facilitation, event design, travel to faraway places, making basic foods from scratch (butter, pasta, ricotta, crackers, muffins), and performance art.
I recently saw the documentary about the youngest person to sail around the world (Maiden Voyage) and I walked away with an incredibly amount of awe and respect for that young woman.
