My journey has taken me across the world, living and working on four continents, and learning along the way about the role that strategic design can play in transforming the human experience at the micro and macro scale. I am passionate about getting the details right while also maintaining a holistic perspective across industries, users, and cultures. 

I am inspired by the power of design, technology, and art to create beautiful solutions to complex challenges. My interests lie at the intersection of emerging technology, visual design, storytelling, systems thinking, ecology, and visionary art.

I am currently Principal Designer at Artefact, an award-winning design and strategy studio based in Seattle, recognized as one of The World's Most Innovative Companies. I write about the future on The Startup and my work has been featured in Fast Company. 

I hold a bachelor's degree in economics from Johns Hopkins University. I have also completed design, art, and ecology training at Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), Seattle Artist League, and Solar Living Institute.
