Here’s an equation to try to communicate my essence:

Raw talent plus empathy and drive, plus good taste and a love for collaborative efforts equals me.

I love a challenge, I know how to get things done. I’ve had a nonlinear career path, which means I have loads of varied experiences to draw solutions from.

In addition to all this art and design activity, I have a family. My husband is so amazing and my sons are so rad I have a hard time not talking about them all the time. Additionally, I’m a member of a local bike team, Gelbbrücke. I enjoy racing cyclocross in the Fall, mountain biking anytime when the trails aren’t too wet, and hitting the pump track out at Tosa with my BMX bike when nobody is there to judge my mediocre skills. I also like to lift heavy weights. My current max deadlift is 323 pounds, but my goal is to get that up to triple bodyweight.
