My career began at the crossroads of design and technology, when the internet was young and it felt like everything was possible. In the last two decades I’ve been a designer, a manager, an executive. I’ve been a mentor, a coach, an advisor, an investor. I’ve founded multiple companies, had the privilege of speaking to people all over the world, and even hosted a podcast. I’ve been a vocal advocate for Design leadership and the power of walking your own path.
When I look back, I can see that so much of my life has been about “doing” in order to prove my worth; this belief that I’m valuable because of the things I do, how I do them, having the right answer at the right time, etc. Along the way, I realized that BEING is what I’m most concerned with. I didn’t need to do more, I needed to trust myself, step into my own power, and lead. And in doing so, create an environment where others could do the same.
