The one who will drive 20 hours in one weekend just to climb a mountain. The black belt with a national Taekwondo title. The one who never learned how to ride a bike but became a spin instructor. The one-time scientist who found a way to turn forest fire ash into a de-icer. The aunt that sends postcards from cool places and comes back with random trinkets.

My life revolves around making and moving. A crayon was in one hand as a child and a disposable camera was in the other, whereas my feet were either kicking their way to a championship or trekking up a cliffside. Same goes for the shoulder-deep-in-the-20s-me.

I'm a firm believer that design should be used for good and humanizing a brand is the way to move in today's marketing world. My career has been composed of designing for a global pet companies, helping student entrepreneurs launch impact-driven businesses, bringing art classes back into elementary schools, being the middle-man between top-level officials and grassroots organizations, promoting ecotourism with hospitality clients, creating campaigns for non-profits and helping the underdogs compete with the big dogs.
