I went from leading design teams in tech to pursing art and creative projects full-time, with some investing and advising on the side. The common thread between what I do is finding ways to increase human connection.


Talking about friendship, painting words onto clothing, I want to make it easier for us to understand one another - to discover each other and our selves.
