Beyond the resume & pretty project portfolio there’s more to me than meets the eye, but it’s exactly that — what catches my eye that excites me most. Here’s a bit about me outside of work.

Sports

Being the only girl in a family of boys, I was raised playing sports. While it made for a competitive household, it also made for a lot of teamwork (and sports references.) I did learn other things: how to be a leader, coach and mentor, but also how to be your #1 fan and how to stay humble when you win & how to keep going when you lose.

Design

With its infinite forms, design has always caught my eye - good and bad. From the bold creativity of maximalism in home design to the classic sophistication of a Rolex ad, we live in a world filled with inspiration & I am here for it. From the colors of this website to the French adverts covering the walls of my home, Meow Wolf in Santa Fe last year, storytelling through color is in everything I love. Even visually-stunning movies & television (think: Cruella, Mad Max, Paradise Hills, Ratched, anything Wes Anderson) get more than a single viewing.

Fashion

My first love, I’ve always been captivated by it. (If you couldn’t tell by the Pink PP accents all over this website…) From the iconic design houses to the innovative creators challenging the way we see gender roles. Fashion is storytelling & when we pay attention to the stories others are telling we begin to grow along with our creativity.

Fashion in my free time: For me, fashion isn’t a hobby reserved for outside the office. Getting dressed for the office is just yet another reason I want to return to an office environment.

I enjoy fashion sketching, tuning into live-streamed runway shows & finding new favorite designers to fall in love with.
