Hello, I'm
I’m a Senior Design Consultant who’s both creative and strategic. I work with clients on core business challenges around their identity, purpose, culture,
overarching strategy, as well as on emerging topics like AI and climate action.
​
I’m an optimist, empath, and a systems thinker.
​
As a consultant, I’ve developed a muscle for being extremely versatile—I can jump into a range of client moments, subject matters, and team
compositions, and create a constructive way forward. I have 4+ years experience managing Design teams.
​
I'm passionate about equity & inclusion, the psychology & science of creativity (so much so that I did my graduate thesis on the subject), painting, hiking, and interior design.
​
I'm a New Yorker but now call Portland, OR home.
