I approach design the way I approach music: by listening first. Every project has its own rhythm, and my role is to tune into the voices within it - especially those often unheard - and help bring them into harmony. Whether I’m facilitating workshops, leading research, or guiding strategic direction, I focus on building trust and creating spaces where people feel seen, heard, and empowered to contribute.

Like water, I adapt to the environments I’m in - flowing between strategy and execution, leadership and collaboration, structure and creativity. This fluidity allows me to move teams from ambiguity to clarity while keeping equity and accessibility at the center of the work.

My lived experience deeply informs my perspective and fuels my commitment to Design Justice. Growing up in a low-income household, navigating spaces where I often felt “in-between,” and working across diverse communities has shaped how I understand systems, power, and belonging. These experiences guide my dedication to co-creating solutions that honor community wisdom and expand access to opportunity.

Outside of work, I’m a music producer and DJ who loves exploring the intricacies of sound as a form of connection and healing. I’m also an ordained minister, having officiated weddings for loved ones - an extension of my passion for creating meaningful, human-centered experiences. Whether through design or music, I’m driven by the same goal: to bring people together and create resonance.
