About

25 years ago, I would have told you that I didn't possess the characteristics that I would use to describe myself today. 

My career, and past eight years as a mother to twins, pushed me beyond what I believed my creative limits to be.

I have come to understand that even though I am strong within various dimensions of brand development and design, the actual value I bring to projects reads something more like this:

• Given time, I can figure out most anything

• I can troubleshoot like no other 

• I am a great strategist — a solution-based, long-term thinker

• I have clarity and vision with projects, and I can dial in on micro aspects in crazy ways while keeping big vision/scope in mind 

• I have an almost maddening ability to recognize scaling, color, or quality differences

• I have a thrifty sense with an eye for quality

• I don't mind setbacks

• I don't mind lunatic deadlines

• I love collaboration

• I possess strong leadership and management skills — hello, motherhood

• I can navigate various personalities

• I can convince almost anyone of anything if I truly believe in it

I am a lover of knowledge, the human body, far-away travel, unfamiliar experiences, self-care, big projects, brilliant teamwork, and inspiring design. 

I imagine possibility in my work and personal life and know the value of pushing oneself into a place where real change happens.

The sum of these things is what I bring to each role I've played throughout my years.
