My mother, an "immersive researcher" and strategy director, inspires my curiosity—likely driving my desire to work simultaneously at a farm and preschool in Montana before pivoting to the functional chaos of NYC. Through listening and observation, I create thoughtful designs and foster meaningful connections between people and brands. These skills have also served me well in other life explorations, such as being an apprentice to a beekeeper or a team member on an improv stage.
