in another life
i would have been a park ranger. (i’m already a jr. ranger).
Currently thinking about: Bali// Indonesia & Maui // Hawaii


I have 13 years of experience lifting brands, businesses and my community. I’m a designer and a public servant; a small-business owner and a non-profit founder. I build, disrupt and never shy away from giving out high-fives.

I founded this and am a principal of that. Find my resume here, and if you’re still reading, maybe check out my work/life jams below.
