Bio

My work lives at the intersection of transformative problem solving, radical agility, and storytelling. My goal: to empower all creators to nimbly address 21st century demands with confidence and empathy. I am a design thinking subject matter expert with hundreds of hours of experience helping creatives across the world develop delightful solutions to their audience's pain points. Currently I serve as the Project Manager for PRX and Google's behemoth joint podcasting initiative where I have generated and delivered design strategy training and creative mentorship to hundreds of audio creators the world over. Recent speaking engagements include Podcast Movement in Dallas and The Podcast Show in London. Previously, I collaborated with a cross-disciplinary team at The New School's department of Journalism + Design to create and deliver design thinking and systems thinking resources to journalism educators across the United States. I also served as the Chief Operating Officer and Editor in Chief of Dancing Astronaut, a leading publication on electronic music and culture serving an audience of 1.5 million. I have appeared on New York Times’ Popcast, NPR’s Worldview and hosted masterclass music-centric programming at Moogfest, ADE, and others. I am a proud first generation college graduate and received my BFA from Parsons School of Design with highest honors and a curricular focus on journalistic practices and memory in art and design.
