Influenced by my background as a Product Designer, Entrepreneur, Mindfulness Coach, and Radio Personality, my goal is to create individual and group experiences that are thoughtfully designed and highly entertaining. My belief is that work is done best when designed to be an inclusive conversation of openness, fun, creativity, and understanding. Over this past decade, I’ve had the pleasure to work at IBM, Blackboard, and Cisco Systems. I designed design thinking, team building, personal development and educational workshops that demonstrate how mindfulness and design thinking practices can foster focus, curiosity, inclusion, and inspiration.
My daily practice of design thinking and mindfulness are the foundation of my upcoming release, a daily journal, slated for Spring 2023.
In addition to creating empowering life design products, I’m seeking opportunities to consult with companies and coach individuals. Please contact me if you have an effort that you desire to be rooted in design discovery or wellness. This includes workshops, retreats, small groups, and private coaching.
