Ask me about
How can design help people feel more connected to themselves, to others, and to the environments around them?
My super power is
Connecting ideas, people, and experiences in ways that create meaning. I have a unique ability to blend strategy, storytelling, community engagement, and design thinking to envision experiences that resonate deeply with people.
I'm looking for
Mentors, collaborators, and opportunities to gain experience in experiential graphic design, wellness design, branded environments, placemaking, and architectural design. I’m especially interested in connecting with professionals who value interdisciplinary thinking and human-centered design.
What I love about experience design
I love exploring how design influences human behavior, emotion, memory, and wellbeing. Whether it’s a park, arboretum, museum, sacred space, public installation, or branded environment, I’m fascinated by experiences that leave people feeling inspired, restored, and transformed.
Best piece of advice I've ever heard
Don’t wait for permission to become the person you want to be. Start doing the work, keep learning, build relationships, and let your commitment to growth create opportunities along the way.
Where I find Inspiration
I find inspiration in nature, cultural spaces, museums, hospitality environments, sacred places, community stories, and the science of how our surroundings impact human beliefs and behavior.
