Hello!
Thanks for stopping by.
I’m a multi-disciplinary artist + designer with over 10 years of experience spanning healthcare, financial services, product design, and C-suite innovation consulting. I have a passion for creative storytelling and untangling ambiguous problems.
I believe in leading with curiosity, listening deeply, and cultivating environments where others feel seen, heard, and valued.
My experience spans many industries & organizations
Most recently, I was part of Salesforce’s innovation consulting team, where I untangled complex business & tech challenges. I designed future visions that inspired large scale transformational change for some of Salesforce’s largest customers.
Prior to that I was at Capital One, on product and innovation teams. In these roles, I designed digital + physical experiences that helped people build stronger relationships with their money.
In a previous life, I studied public health and worked in the healthcare technology & policy space as an SME to care providers, national policy makers, and developers.
What’s in my wheelhouse
1
Envisioning future experiences
…that open hearts and minds to what is possible
2
Navigating complexity & ambiguity
…and translating it into a tangible path forward
3
Crafting compelling stories
…that generate just the right level of buy-in
4
Bringing diverse groups together
…to co-create shared visions that inspire change
Life outside of work
In my free time, you can find me holed up at the ceramics studio, wandering into local bookstores, and volunteering at Muttville senior dog rescue.
