My Core Work Values

The principles that guide my work and collaboration

Transparency

I do clear communication and honest collaboration. 

Empathy with boundaries

Having empathy for the next person goes a long way as long as they respect the boundaries.

Learning

Continuously growing and focused on personal growth and experimentation with projects & people and myself. 

collaboration

I believe building together with teams and stakeholders through disagreements with mutual respect. 

Beyond Design

I am passionate about movement, mindfulness and growth. I believe the best work happens when we bring our strong minded selves to the table and create from a place of authenticity and honesty.
