Through an infectious enthusiasm and a penchant for connection, I bring people together and foster collaboration among cross-functional teams. My can-do attitude propels me through challenges while my influential nature wins over even the most difficult stakeholders, leading me straight to the executive table of a Fortune 500 company.
Beyond client work, I elevate design in the broader DFW community by speaking at events like Circuit, hosting sold-out events such as AIGA's "Figma Unbound," and fostering connections that create new opportunities. I’m passionate about combining design thinking, servant leadership, and a people-first approach to deliver results and build thriving design communities.
A natural storyteller and high-performing practitioner of design thinking principles, I strive to radiate joy and positivity, making me an invaluable asset in any team or endeavor.
Oh, and in case it wasn't clear from the headline: I'm a big fan of alliteration.
