My passion for design originated from my love of sports and obsession to find the perfect gear. To this day I'm driven by that same athlete mindset; eager to push the limits of what's possible in the industry alongside my team. 

​

I have traveled across Portland, Brooklyn, Los Angeles, and Wyoming with determination to chase my design dreams. Although I have dealt with complex asks, ambiguous projects, and unrealistic expectations, my resiliency has helped me find success. As a conceptual design lead, I meticulously refine shape, innovate construction, and progress designs through color & materials. My proactive design process includes: searching for obscure references, studying multi-disciplinary designers, analyzing athlete insights, and collaborating with innovation companies. 

​

While I'm dedicated to perpetually refining my design skills, my ambitions also lie in mentoring the next generation of designers. I love supporting my current teammates as well as mentoring S.E.E.D. designers  (adidas's School for Experiential Education in Design for BIPOC women). There's no greater feeling than watching my mentees flourish in the design industry. 

​

When I'm not designing or mentoring, you can can catch me  finding serenity  in the mountains-- hiking, running, or chasing powder.
