My passion lies in sharing the beauty at the intersection of biology and design.

Systems thinking is the shared thread between my PhD research at UC Berkeley on the ecology of invasive plants, and my career in technical apparel design for the past two decades for brands such as Mountain Hardwear, Lululemon and Rossignol.

Demonstrated ability as a leader, systems thinker, and change agent at the intersection of science and design.

Known for driving collective action and building strategic processes resulting in innovation and future forward systemic change.

Results driven ideator with a collaborative working style, fueled by diversity of thought and multidisciplinary exploration.

Joining the effort to transform the fashion industry to be more planet positive, by applying knowledge of the interconnected workings of the natural world to design solutions conducive to life.

Partnering with factories is the best way to communicate ideas, innovate and bring product to life using the technical expertise of the manufacturer.

Listening to the unique needs of athletes and understanding their environments inspires informed, purpose-driven design.
