I am a design and design strategy leader, working within a leading tech consulting practice to bring smart, high-touch solutions for customers to our clients. Previously, I led a human centered design practice I started at a Fortune 100 food company after working in Fortune 500 companies as both a strategist and technologist. I am trained in design and systems thinking methodologies with a masters from Parsons, and I am a proud Texas Longhorn.

In a soundbite, I love to create user-centered solutions for beyond the 1%. I have a bias for challenges targeting environmental responsibility, health, and technology, and incorporating ways to educate and involve youth— they are our future! Understanding human behavior and what motivates change is fascinating and broad, allowing me to be openly curious and leverage photography, graphic design, and writing to capture what is in hopes of developing what could be. A personal example of this is in my business cards for SXSW, starting in 2016. As a native of the city, I designed the cards as pieces of a recommendation experience that included a webpage and Google map—the delight I experienced from recipients of my cards was well worth the effort and I've iterated on it each year.

I believe in making brave choices and exploring life's opportunities. When starting a new chapter in New York a few years ago, I began my Say Yes Moments blog to share the journey of making growing life choices and have periodically included stories from others. It has encouraged me to continue to step outside of my comfort zone personally and professionally.

I would love to discuss how I can partner to solve your business challenges, share your "say yes moment" on my blog, or grab a cup of a locally roasted coffee! I am planting roots in my hometown of Austin—quite literally, I garden ferociously—after stints in Northwest Arkansas, New York, and Chicago.
