I love to collaboratively work through design problems with a variety of people from various backgrounds. More heads and viewpoints are better than one. I get so very excited melding the best parts of seemingly disparate ideas to yield a better product. Cross-pollination is good! The sum is indeed greater than the sum of its parts :)

As a former project manager, I find it important to meld user needs with business needs. To that end, I found collaborative ways to prioritize features and functionalities as proposed by various stakeholders. This ensures all feel heard.

Tenacious. Persistent. These are words that have been often used to describe me. Give up? Me? There's got to be a solution somewhere in here!

Excitable when it comes to research. Design without research is execution without a plan. Steering a boat with your hands instead of paddles. Traveling without a map...ok, I'll stop. I place great value on research in order to reduce execution costs, thereby increasing ROI.

Working collaboratively with groups is awesome and incredibly invaluable. I also believe in the power of alone processing time. I've experienced the magic of idea synthesis that happens when the brain is seemingly "at rest." My best ideas often come while in the shower or on walks... Then I'll excitedly run my thoughts by the team to see if it pasts the sniff test! "What if we...?!?"
