Welcome!
An interdisciplinary designer and artist, I’m interested in how seemingly dissonant pieces fit together to bridge our past, present, and desired futures. On this site, you'll find case studies on recent projects and personal writing on topics like creative practice, relational leadership, and remote work.
I currently lead the Futures Design Studio at a national nonprofit where I oversee service design, navigate foresight practices, and lead cross-functional innovation projects. Previously, as the Brand & Creative Director, I crafted compelling stories, products, digital platforms, and toolkits to inspire action toward systems change. I hold a BA in Social Anthropology from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities and an MA in Creative Leadership from the Minneapolis College of Art & Design, where I was honored to receive a VanDerlip Award for "high personal character, diligence and application in work, and artistic ability of exceptional promise."
I currently live in Minnesota on land stewarded by the Dakota people. More than 10,000 years ago, retreating glaciers carved the landscape and shaped the lakes that define this region. In the present day, that water continues to flow, freeze, and thaw throughout the seasons, and I walk around the lakes to facilitate my own state changes, as well.
