About

My background spans dance, sculpture, textile R&D, and AI-powered documentation platforms. It's not a straight line — but there's a consistent thread: I show up where something new is being figured out, learn how it works, and build the systems that help other people use it.

I started in fine arts — a BFA in Sculpture with a minor in Dance from UNC Greensboro — and found my way into the textile printing industry through a cold email to a small startup called Spoonflower in 2008. What began as an unpaid internship grew into seven years building their R&D department. From there I joined Nike's Apparel Manufacturing Innovation team, contributed to the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, and eventually landed in Chicago at M&R Printing Equipment — where I've been building documentation systems, training platforms, and product knowledge infrastructure ever since.

I make decisions with the user experience in mind at every step. I think about the whole process, not just the immediate problem. And I work best when given a hard problem and the space to figure it out.

Outside of work I take dance classes, volunteer at The Rooted Space, and build things — knitting, furniture, code, whatever needs making.

If that sounds like someone you'd like to work with, I'd love to connect.
