Community Organizer
Fueled by a passion for impact and connection, I thrive at bringing people together to make big things happen. From my work as the Silicon Valley Chapter Director for New leaders council to mentoring future creative leaders, I’ve turned ideas into action and teamwork into success. These experiences aren’t just about community—they’re the blueprint for how I lead creative teams: amplifying voices, building trust, and turning diverse talent into unstoppable momentum.
AI Enthusiast
(& Cockeyed Optimist)
I’ve embraced AI as a creative co-pilot, using it to give ads a human voice, spark fresh ideas in brainstorming sessions, and even dive into coding to bring big concepts to life. Whether adding motion to static photos or fine-tuning the details, I use AI to amplify creativity, not replace it—staying optimistic about how tech can make the work smarter, sharper, and undeniably human.
Master Of The Beats
As one half of Velvet Devereaux, I craft immersive soundscapes that turn corporate events and fundraisers into unforgettable experiences. From sleek sets at Bloomingdale’s to curated vibes for high-energy gatherings, my partner and I mix beats with intention, creating the perfect soundtrack for every moment.
Home Renovator
From across the country, I traded my designer hat for a Pinterest board, partnering with Clean Slate RDU to transform a basic suburban house into their favorite project—a moody, modern sanctuary that's equal parts sophisticated and livable.
Startup Builder
(& Merger Survivor)
I’ve built creative teams from the ground up, transforming limited resources into limitless possibilities. Leading an international team, I fostered a culture of innovation and trust, earning the distinction of having the lowest attrition rate in Silicon Valley—a reputation I’m proud to uphold.
Workflow Expert
Perfect is the Enemy of Good, and can cause creative block. That’s why I developed a streamlined system that cut our core workflow from 4 hours to just 1. Built on a philosophy of momentum and adaptability, this process keeps designers moving, inspired, and focused on what they do best: creating. It’s not just about saving time—it’s about empowering creativity to flow seamlessly.
Equity Catalyst
Collaboration is where innovation thrives. As a leader, I work across creative teams, engineers, product specialists, and client success experts to drive growth and push the boundaries of advertising design. By bridging disciplines and aligning goals, I ensure every project advances not just creativity but also the technology and strategy behind it—building a unified vision that propels teams and brands forward.
Party Planner
(In A Global Pandemic)
When the world went dark, I lit up a virtual Overlook Hotel and threw a Halloween bash straight out of The Shining. Part eerie, part epic, it had everything: live bands, Bartenders, DJs, burlesque, a fortune teller spinning futures as wild as the night itself. With an open-source platform as my stage, I turned isolation into exhilaration—because even a pandemic couldn’t stop the party.
