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.
