a Bit about me

Experimenting with pixels on screens since Microsoft Paint. Worked on dozens of marketing and product design projects for startups and enterprise companies.

My hearts remains where it all started: small business. I’m on a mission to extract all the key lessons from my design career, and apply them to small businesses.

Let's Jam together!

On a personal note, I'm a digital nomad who travels with her partner and dog, Nala. We've visited over 20 National Parks in the United States and are slowly working our way around the globe. 🌎
