About Me

I'm passionate about building brands, then pushing them to evolve over time. It’s great when the creative looks and sounds beautiful, but it’s even better when it’s also meaningful and drives the business forward. As a leader, I value team chemistry and creativity equally. I foster an environment where creatives can work on diverse projects to stretch their skills and grow their careers.

In my personal life, I'm a wife, daughter, aunt, sister, friend, dancer, and dance company director. I approach all areas of my life with enthusiasm, empathy, and a healthy dose of humor. I currently live in San Jose with my husband George and our bengal cat, Bazooka. That baby you thought you heard crying during your last Zoom meeting with me? Definitely her.

And I love cheese. A lot. So much that I once vowed to marry a cheese cart. In my defense, it was really nice looking and George and I were only dating at the time.

I'm fascinated by film, television and video games, but I also enjoy the outdoors. I grew up in the bay area where I was lucky enough to be exposed to a broad range of artistic mediums at a young age. I also spent half my childhood in Lake Almanor, California where I learned to appreciate nature, simplicity, and the balance that nature can bring to busy city life.

My mother was the biggest influence on who I am today. She was an elementary school teacher who took it upon herself to create an art program for her school. She had the most beautiful handwriting, and growing up, she would often make me re-write my homework if my penmanship wasn’t good enough. She is 100% responsible for my obsession with all things creative. Because of her, I’ve also become a caregiver “buddy” for the Colorectal Cancer Alliance and found a new passion in caregiver advocacy.
