Advice/Keys to Success: My advice to young designers is to never give up on the thing that inspires you. Life will pull you in all kinds of directions, but if you allow yourself to be patient and stay true to your core values and beliefs, in time your career will re-center itself on your passions and talent, and you will flourish and thrive!

If you had to choose one word to explain why you do what you do, which one most suits you? And why? LOVE. My design practice is driven by a love for how design plays a powerful role in impacting sensory and social human experiences, in both commercial and civic realms. Focused on mission-based clients engaged in the arts, culture, and education, my work prioritizes design strategies that support social equity, multi-cultural engagement, education, technology and sustainability in urban areas.
