About.

Having lived in seven cities across four continents,  I speak four languages and hold three passports. I have a global perspective, which coupled with my academic pursuits, has afforded me a creative view point that I harness to create memorable client experiences.

I am a process thinker, who knows how to navigate ambiguous problems to identity unlikely connections. I am an agile learner, with over six years of experience in Design, Sales and Marketing. I am a polymath, capable of using creative and divergent approaches to solve complex business challenges and forge long-lasting client relationships.

I believe that the strategic and consistent delivery of a brand's message is as important as the message itself. I am passionate about creating alluring user-centric experiences and spaces, utilizing innovative design, branding and marketing concepts.

I am currently pursuing a Design Leadership (MBA/MA) student at Johns Hopkins University Carey Business School and the Maryland Institute College of Art. The program helps students gain a competitive advantage through an emphasis on design thinking and human centered design, whilst simultaneously developing a core business skill set. The course work in this program focuses on human centered design, design thinking, rapid prototyping.

I received my undergraduate degree in Architecture from Bryn Mawr College in Bryn Mawr, PA.
