Powerfully
dyslexic.
My “processing disorder” is a creative advantage, and I’ve learned to own it fully. As a dyslexic thinker, I don’t move in straight lines. I see systems spatially, absorb complexity through experience, and connect disparate elements into something meaningful. This divergent way of thinking drives both my creativity and my empathy. It’s how I collaborate, how I strategize, and how I build trust with people, with communities, and within teams.
I began as a photographer, driven by curiosity and observation. But I didn’t want to just document life; I wanted to make a contribution to it. That shift led me to human-centered design.
For two decades in New York and abroad, I’ve worked at the intersection of human-impact, brand, strategy, and systems thinking. I focus on crafting experiences, services, and structures that are usable, inclusive, and grounded in real human insight. For me, success is measured not just by solving a challenge, but by the ripple effects that amplify impact—improving lives, reshaping perceptions, and driving lasting momentum.
I’m not just designing products or processes—I’m designing pathways forward. By connecting perspectives, bridging human and organizational needs, and challenging the status quo, I aim to build a more equitable and sustainable future.
Organizations need divergent thinkers. Sameness breeds blind spots, and we’re not here to tinker. We’re here to build what’s next.

So much of my work is
Seeing & learning
While traveling I always keep a book to capture the things that catch my mind. i see and think. Some times it is a scrap of paper, other times is a cathedral. I was once told that to really look at a thing you should try and draw it. So I try. This is a record of a summer is spent living in Copenhagen Denmark.
Shooting photos has afforded me an excuse to pry, something to offer, and a persistent means to get outside my comfort zone.
