Beyond The Work

Outside of design leadership, I’m an avid gamer, surfer, skateboarder, and lifelong animal lover. My husband and I love building things — from virtual worlds to home projects — and our two dogs and two lizards often steal the spotlight during design critiques. When I’m not creating, you’ll usually find me on a surfboard, skateboard, or deep in a game, always looking for new ways to recharge and stay inspired.
