Mother | Designer | Organizer | Writer

Welcome to my page! About Me: • Motto: “Creating today with connection & appreciation; creativity moving forward to tomorrow. • Word for ‘23 Venture (‘22 Purpose & ‘21 Intention) • I am a working mom & wife—like so many others—trying to juggle it all. I'm always on the search for activities for my daughter to empower her to learn, grow, and thrive. • Every day I continue to be the best version of myself—encourage others to do the same. • I am writing my first nonfiction book—I have been working off-and-on since 2018. My thought process: • I have an organized mind with creative ideas—a mix of left- & right-brained. • Many things are my medium—favorites are pen & paper, drawing on my iPad, & acrylic paint. • Organizing processes, procedures, & items (tangible & intangible) are my thing; I am excited just thinking about organizational systems. • Design Thinking / Human-Centered Design is my passion. I thrive in a fast-paced environment with multiple moving pieces, creating innovative solutions, & shifting gears to meet customer expectations, and the company's changing goals—my unique combination of skills across various industries gives me a different perspective. I have tried to make sense of my non-linear career. The two constants are always focused on the people—customer, candidate, or user experience while creating tools, processes, procedures, & designs. I am not just a creative but a designer with intention in all my work. I don't want to create just to create but design to delight people! Curiously learning to expand my proficiency, implementing practices, & sharing mindsets. It kind of makes my background fit together—always with the human experience top of my mind. When faced with adversity, I focus on pivoting by gaining knowledge. I believe in transparency and sharing expertise to empower others. I also believe in the power of collaboration & human-centered design to create inclusive ideas. I am looking forward to working with the change-makers to help make the world a better place.
