Being named a 40 under 40!
What is one notable achievement (personal or professional) that you've made over the past year?
Following several exceptionally challenging years for so many people, I am most proud of a global pro-bono initiative I contributed to this past year. I was able to work with creative leaders from all levels in time zones around the world to create absolutely stunning work that was a piece of making a bigger difference. I am passionate about the design industry and specifically, how we can bring together different groups of people with unique skillsets and talents, that all have the same energy to create bold change.
What is a piece of media that has inspired you professionally?
“Understanding the World: The Atlas of Infographics” by Sandra Rendgen. It was the best book my college design professor recommended…and I still have it! It explains the world in accessible, visual form and I find something new every time I pick it back up!
