Dating back to 1987, I fell in love with a Macintosh Plus and the rest was history. My career in tech spans over 15 years, including roles such as UX Researcher, UI Designer, Storyteller, Entrepreneur, Writer, and 'Edutainer'.
My diverse background in arts, psychology, sciences, and theology has shaped my problem-solving approach, allowing me to work with clients ranging from startups to Fortune 50 companies, always bringing a passionately curious and out-of-the-box thinking mindset.
