I’m a project manager who specializes in delivering creative solutions to enhance retail, non-profit, or commercial projects by utilizing technology and interactive design.

During the last few years, I’ve worked with IX Labs creating interactive experiences for exhibits and brand activations. I’ve continued to grow my skills in using digital technology to bring a space to life. I’ve helped design and develop solutions such as touch-screen maps, life-size projections, and fully immersive 360-degree screen experiences. We took these projects from ideas to launch with software, hardware, and content.

As a team member at Tangible, a Vancouver-based art and design studio specializing in interactive experiences, I mixed digital and physical elements to bring people together around the world, managing projects in London, Tokyo, and Valencia. I have priceless experience leading global projects for names like Samsung, Adidas, and Ralph Lauren. 

I connected with Tangible while doing a thesis project for my Master’s degree at the Centre for Digital Media, where I learned valuable skills in UX design, cross-functional team management, and software product management. I have an undergraduate degree in business marketing from California Lutheran University. I’m originally from Minneapolis, MN and I now reside in Vancouver, BC.

I’m a “connector” who thrives on and excels in building relationships–I’ve done this by helping start businesses, growing successful teams, managing major brand accounts, producing exciting projects, and always, always connecting with people.
