Values

Collaboration, honesty, and commitment to continual improvement.


Background

I have a bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies: Business and Fine Art and an MFA in Design Thinking. I have worked as a freelance artist and designer for a few years now and have worked as a barista, assistant manager at a cafe, and a sous chef for a wedding venue. Most recently, I was a consultant for the Space Force as a Design Thinking expert and innovation strategist. I also co-founded and led my contracting company’s internal innovation program. What I value most about my experiences is learning from other people and solving problems together.

Currently, I freelance as an innovation consultant in the social media marketing space. Clients include Slim Jim/Conagra, Sticki Rolls, and Mushykinz. I also make and sell fine art, primarily goauche paintings. Please contact me for business inquiries.
