I’m a multi-passionate person: I like being at the crux of product design & development – helping to guide users and make them feel comfortable in that environment, I draw every day and spend time learning to use new tools and mediums, I believe I work more creatively after a run, and I’m excited about what’s to come.
I had a bone marrow transplant in 2016 to treat acute myeloid leukemia. I don’t think that cancer defines me, but it has helped shape me and I’m grateful for the people it introduced me to. I’m a new mom, I like to be helpful, I will never turn down a warm drink, and I have two dogs – a blind pug and a very lazy greyhound.
