I’m a vetted mentor on ADPList.org, Designed.org, and the NACC Virginia Chapter, and a core member of the Design Buddies community - where I have helped designers from different walks of life and industries find their edge (and in return, found inner peace in giving back).

As the recipient of the Tech Empowerment Award from Westcliff University - honoring the initiatives I've led that bring tech and innovation to the community, I’ve helped bridge the gap between design and disciplines like product, engineering, and research - especially for global teams where alignment is often the hardest part.
