Raised by a librarian and a cartographer, I grew up surrounded by stories and maps—Narratives that make sense of our world, and frameworks that help us navigate it. Combine this with a college-era fascination with the marvel that was Macromedia Flash, and it’s no surprise I tumbled headfirst into digital design.

My career started at two beloved Minnesota companies—Polaris and Target—building a strong foundation in interactive design and branding. I then spent over a decade at global digital consultancy Publicis Sapient, where an endlessly wide range of renown clients, complex challenges, high-stakes pitches, and incredible mentors shaped my growth from designer to director.

Grounded in a passion for solving problems and building things, I thrive in that tension between story and system. Few things are more fulfilling than understanding the user, their problem, and orchestrating their meaningful outcome across a complex business and technology landscape.
