Iā€™m a designer, a writer, an illustrator, an educator, a problem-solver, an optimist.

I follow my curiosity.

Make stuff with my hands.

Embrace the unexpected.

I teach students to be curious, empathetic and experimental.

Thoughtful, strategic and fearless.

I make them draw.

A lot.

Always looking for the big idea.

I believe that good work synthesizes the intersection of content and expression.

Of language and image.

As a designer, I want to use my abilities to leave the world a little better than the way
I found it. I believe that design has the power to make connections. To create change.

It has the power to lift us up.
