Life provides us with never-ending opportunities to respond to change.

​

While sometimes change comes gradually, as an advancing tide slowly enveloping the shoreline before receding with grace, other times it rages in as a storm, leaving behind a world forever transformed. We ultimately define our collective journey through this life by how we embrace, react, and rise to change. 

 

I’ve drawn strength to face these tides and storms of life from close ties to family, community, and wildly talented peers who share a deep commitment and deep passion for what they do.

 

As an endurance athlete, I’ve found great reward in exploring boundaries, reveling in the relentless effort it can take to conquer some while offering deep reverence for others. The community of other athletes of all ages and walks of life chasing similar goals I've met along this journey have been some of my greatest sources of inspiration.

 

As a designer, I’ve been most passionate about the new ways creativity, artistry, and technology can re-shape behavior, inspire joy, heal pain, build and foster equity, and affect the broader human condition in positive and playful ways. I am always seeking new ways to co-create with others: what we envision and build together is always far greater than what each of us can create in isolation. We are unstoppable when collectively we dream big, check our egos, champion empathy, and embrace disruptive change as opportunity with a common mission.

 

I’m always excited for what shifts the future may hold. The tides and storms will continue to roll in and out. Our best responses will always be the ones that are the most collective and creative.
