Theory is great for discovering new perspectives, but only through practice do we learn which ones fit us. Continued growth beyond the status quo means embracing new experiences, being comfortable with discomfort, and having a willingness to take calculated risks.
Meaningful insight and innovation comes from understanding people — their needs and wants. Genuine curiosity, asking “why,” and digging to understand underlying motivation creates deep empathy for people, and unexpected solutions to the world’s problems.
A strong team is greater than the sum of its parts. I’m at my best working with diverse-but-complementary skillsets and personalities. A foundation of trust and understanding leads to productive relationships that transcend individual bias and capability.
I'm inspired by all kinds of media, design, and other people's creativity.
I travel for exposure to new people, cultures, food, and activities. I prefer travel on two wheels — bikes, scooters, and motorcycles. I often enjoy the journey more than the destination. I use photography to document and remember.
I love animals. I'm owned by two pet cats, and I work with my partner, Alice, to foster rescued kittens (prepare for gratuitous kitten photo dump 😍 🥹).
