While I enjoy the freelance life, I believe in the power of the collective, and the RGD Association helps the industry become more ethical, trustworthy, and transparent.

There are also many ways a person can come to the world of design—through a university or college program, being self-taught, figuring it out on the job. (For me, all of the above!). Becoming part of the RGD was a great way to formalize my skillset, connect with a professional community, and challenge myself to do my best in representing that community.

I want to help people better understand one another, facilitate learning and interdisciplinary communication, and ease frustration in navigating spaces, systems, and information. And delight the eye whenever I can!
