About me
Bio:
For nearly two decades, I’ve worked across brand strategy, graphic design, digital products, learning experiences, service models, and operational systems. That has made my career a little hard to describe with just one title.
I started in design, moved into creative operations and business development, and now I’m building Guitari.com as co-founder and CEO. What connects these roles is, I think, the same creative instinct. I care deeply about making good ideas functional. And I like systems thinking. A lot.
I’m from the United States, but grew up with diplomat parents and spent most of my childhood living in different countries. As an adult, I also like to get to know different places. I’ve lived and worked in Philadelphia, New York City, Portland, Oregon, Tulsa, Oklahoma, and will be moving to Austin, Texas, in the spring. Traveling has determined my way of being in the world and is, I think, why I tend to prioritize experience and collaboration over almost everything else.
With Guitari.com, I’m now applying my experience to music education. At Guitari, we make musicianship accessible and protect the value of human creativity. I’m also building Night Lunch Studios as a creative engine for innovative education, games, film, and other work that supports my own ventures.
