About Me

I’m a creative leader fascinated with finding new ways of doing things. My experience spans design, illustration, video, copywriting, UX/UI design, and design management.

I am a founding member of the outdoor brand Cotopaxi, and for the past 10+ years I’ve built and managed its creative team as VP of Creative Design. I’m also a children’s book writer and illustrator and have won numerous awards, including the Theodor Seuss Geisel in 2016.
