Career Goals

Until recently, there wasn’t a term for who I am. It is “The Unicorn Designer”. One who likes to design but can also code. To add more dimension, I can tell you that I’m a huge data nerd, visual perfectionist and thrive in a position where collaboration, taking informed risks and leadership are valued and necessary. An atmosphere of excitement, positivity while solving challenging problems is where I perform the best. I want to be given responsibility, loose reins to solve problems creatively; I am not phased by difficulty. Finally, I have a passion for teaching and inspiring others in leading by example.
