Other than being a gummy bear connoisseur, a spontaneous dancer, and a hydrology nerd, I possess an insatiable desire to learn and make with new technologies, techniques, and tools that is both immersive and interactive. I draw inspiration from the natural world and mythologies. I often find myself envisioning how technology affects the relationship between people, place and objects.
My superpower is that I combine my design thinking with business thinking. In my previous life, I enjoyed a 8-year professional career in several technical roles that honed a process for performing user research, persona development, storytelling, and software design, development, and implementation.
