I have a bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies: Business and Fine Art and a research-focused 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 company’s internal innovation program. What I value most about my experiences is learning from other people and solving problems together.
