My Journey

Unlocking unparalleled value, I blend the art of storytelling with collaborative finesse. As a Design Leader, Business and Marketing Strategist, and fervent Machine Learning Enthusiast, I emerge from a diverse tapestry of expertise, setting me apart in a league of my own.
👸🏻 Self Taught Design Leader (10+ Years)
At just 12 years old, I unearthed the wonders of Photoshop, crafting websites that dazzled through high school and college. While deep in my pre-medical studies, my heart whispered of a deeper passion for design. Long before bootcamps were en vogue, I delved into endless app designs, honing my craft until securing an internship.

In the early stages of my career, as a new and single mom, I aspired to join the ranks of tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Facebook. Despite my efforts, rejection (I was so close!!!) was my initial response. It wasn't until a pivotal conversation with a Business Coach that my path shifted. He posed a question that resonated deeply: "Do you want to be a big fish in a small pond?"

Recognizing the potential for greater influence in smaller startups, I embarked on a journey that saw me transition from a founding designer to a Design Leader, catalyzing growth by scaling teams from a single designer to three. With a fervent dedication to design systems and accessibility for all, I stand as a steadfast advocate for inclusive design practices.

My Values

1. Failure
To me, failure is like tripping on a banana peel at a fancy party. It's not a stumbling block; it's a stepping stone to becoming a world-class acrobat!

2. Be Curious
I take immense pride in my ability to pose profound questions and champion lean, yet potent solutions in the design journey while bringing people together. I'm a proud champion of asking the deepest, most mind-boggling questions, like "Why is a hot dog called a hot dog?" And I'm all about lean solutions.

‍3. Keep it simple
I'm the guide who helps the team find the perfect balance between our wild design dreams and the need to make actual money. I'm not just a team player; I'm like an ideas matchmaker, bringing people together to cook up fresh and innovative approaches.
