GETTING TO HERE

Critical thinking, curiosity, and a distinct point of view accompany me on every creative conundrum along my magical mystery tour. My signature approach – relationships-first, multi-disciplinary and purpose-driven – is rooted in equity, and bolstered by keen business acumen, and strategic design chops. As a convener, connector, and creator of memorable experiences and iconic places, I instinctively bring the essence of hospitality, human-centered design, and community into all that I embrace.


THE WORK AHEAD

Over the years, I’ve had the honor of working with, and learning from, some of the most visionary creatives, and leaders. I am grateful to continue to surround myself with emerging talent, collaborate with great teams, and draw from seasoned wisdom. These relationships transform hard work into a beautiful, shared adventure—pushing boundaries and serving others, together.

My life’s work continues to drive me boldly into new territories, fueling my imagination and passion for experimentation. At my core – people-first, hands-on, and strategic blue-sky visioning is how I think and love to work – leaving ample space for genuine collaboration to flourish.
