about me I am a holistic problem solver (I really believe that I create my experience on earth). My main focus is on identifying the needs and pain points of users through the iterative process of story telling and dialogue, in order to identify a common thread in the design. Co-creating opportunities for positive experiences is central to my work as an experience designer, content creator, and non-traditional educator.
