I’m a passionate storyteller, a maker at heart, and a doodler who can’t resist the temptation of a sweet treat! Giraffes hold a special place in my heart, just like the Kansas City Royals. Once upon a time, architecture and buildings ruled my world. Then the world shifted and I with it. I was lucky enough to find I had new ways to create and build. Rather than designing environments for stories to play out in, I now get to help craft and design how those lived stories and experiences are told through the lens of a brand. But amidst all this, my love for my partner, our two beautiful chaos-gremlins (I mean daughters), and animals, particularly our pup, Ham-bam, the disaster dog, remains unwavering. He will regularly make virtual appearances - he’s the sweetest, most giant baby around. I love him dearly.
