Experience

I have enjoyed a diverse 15+ year career rich in design discovery, trusted client relationships, and deeply engaged end users. From planning large scale real estate portfolios to activating start-up offices my experience has given me a holistic understanding of the power of strategic planning, thoughtful leadership, data-driven design, and empowered change management.
