MY STRENGTHS

 

TEAM LEADERSHIP // DIRECTOR & COACH

I find leading a team and working shoulder-to-shoulder with others very fulfilling. To be effective, I've learned to rely on my instincts and trust the creative process. I have a calm, steady demeanor, I understand the importance of clear, honest communication, and I am committed to being a constant advocate for my team.

VISION // AWARENESS & UNDERSTANDING

I believe the more you know, the more effective you can be. By leading with empathy, curiosity, and a keen eye for the big picture, I aim to foster an environment where understanding partner pressures and passions creates a cohesive, supportive, and enjoyable team culture, ultimately driving business success.

VERSATILITY // PRODUCT & GRAPHIC

I have extensive experience in product design and graphic design. I can’t really define what type of designer I am… and I don’t really care to either.

 

INNOVATION // PERFORMANCE & STYLE

My proficiency in managing technical products for athlete performance and and navigating modern style trends across accessories like bags, socks, and headwear allows me to innovate across a wide range of categories, from conception to creation.

 

STRATEGY //  ANALYSIS & ORGANIZATION

I have an analytical mind, and I strive to see the big picture. I excel at taking complex information and breaking things down into simple understandable pieces. Edit, edit, edit!


MY team Mantras

 

CONFIDENCE // BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

Have desire to win. Be engaged and have an opinion. Don’t be afraid to fail. If you don’t know, figure it out.

 

CURIOSITY // IT’S NOT ALL ABOUT YOU

Have an open mind. Push boundaries. Seek to understand rather than judge. Listen, collaborate, and learn.

 

VERSATILITY // SEE THE WHOLE FIELD

Create space off the ball. Set yourself and your partners up for success. Lead with empathy.




GRIT
// WORK HARD AND GET DIRTY

Be professional. Trust the process. Set a high bar & follow through on commitments. Persevere and adapt when things get messy.

What I’m looking for

 

GROWTH // OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN

I love learning new skills and discovering different ways to see things. I'm a competitive person (I HATE losing), and I enjoy being challenged to reach new goals. Whenever I find myself out of my comfort zone, I trust that I can learn what I don't know. Learn. Adapt. Perfect.

 

LEADERSHIP // OPPORTUNITY TO INFLUENCE

I work best when I have the opportunity to influence the process, the strategy, and the larger team to move things forward and make things happen. I am motivated by the challenge of solving problems and overcoming obstacles.

 

CURIOSITY // OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE

I believe the process of design is something to be explored - not a formula to follow. Regardless of the end product, collaborating with others to solve new problems and create something newer and better is always fun and exciting. The end-result is just the cherry on top. Whatever the phase, I love to dive in with my team and get my hands dirty.

 

TEAM // OPPORTUNITY TO WIN TOGETHER

I've always been drawn to team sports and the chance to work together towards common goals. I thrive in upbeat, dynamic settings that uphold high standards and professional responsibility, yet also prioritize fun, curiosity, and genuine collaboration.

MY INTERESTS

I'm grateful to have a fantastic family; they are my top priority. Coaching my kids' youth sports has been a rewarding experience, and I make it a point to never miss a game on the sidelines. I find peace being on and around the water, joy and escape through golf, and excitement (and misery) cheering for my hometown Detroit sports teams.
