About me
I'm an adaptable industrial designer with a focus on collaboration and a passion for problem solving, storytelling and great human-centered design. Now, as an experienced designer and art director at ROKK Solutions, I'm developing creative strategies, filling a wall (or screen) with strong concepts and executing with precision. I've had the pleasure of working for small startups to Fortune Global 500 companies - I've seen what works across the spectrum and know how to ask the right questions to find and leverage (often hidden) brand strengths.
Even though I'm a lucky one where my job IS my passion, when I'm not designing, you can find me being the "cool aunt", drinking coffee, surrounding myself with nature, "discovering" new music, traveling, reading historical fiction or playing tennis (working on this one).
My design journey began at the University of Cincinnati, DAAP. Now back in Columbus, OH I am a curiosity-driven creative and mentor eager to think strategically and design with intention. I thrive at the intersection of disciplines, driven by a passion for newness that disrupts markets and creates harmony between product and story.
