I love creating spaces that enable people to do their best work. My background as an architectural designer helps me distill stories into insights and build relationships toward meaningful solutions.

For fun, I like scouring salvage yards and vintage furniture stores, planning home improvement projects, stretching on my yoga mat, hiking, reading, writing, drawing, and spending long weekends on the beautiful Oregon Coast.
