I am a visual communicator and sustainability advocate with a drive to do work that matters. I believe in the potential of good design to tackle real-world problems - I want to work with teams and organizations that share my mission to effect meaningful change through creativity and innovation.
I recently received a Master of Arts in Sustainable Design, aiming to expand my knowledge and expertise around sustainability issues, resilient design strategies, and communication techniques. I hope to bring these skills into my career and connect with like-minded partners and organizations.
