I'm convinced that each of us has a unique mission in life. Every choice and move either brings us closer to or further from that mission. Our innate talents and passions guide us in fulfilling our intended role. It's our passion that propels us forward. My calling is to uplift and enhance the lives of others, and over time, my talents have shifted from mere design tasks to harnessing innovative solutions through design.
Receiving awards and recognitions, like the Addy’s, is often seen as a testament to the quality of work. Yet, as I've progressed in my career, I've come to value my design work more for its impact in assisting others in reaching their aspirations than mere accolades. 
In my two decades in the design realm, I've had the privilege of working alongside talented individuals and engaging with renowned brands like Medical Solutions, TD Ameritrade, Cargill, Bosch, Phillips 66, and many others. But it was my foray into healthcare design, particularly during my tenure at space150 working on projects for Optum and UnitedHealth Group, that truly sparked my passion for using design to effect positive change. 
Now, my ambition is to design with a kind-hearted intent, viewing challenges from a humanitarian perspective. I firmly believe that design should be a tool for problem-solving, benefiting both individuals and the broader community. 
A design that doesn't solve a problem—is only creating a new one.
