What inspires you?
There are so many things in life that inspire me. Bold, saturated colors and patterns seem to be the largest inspirations. I like elements that have a lot of energy, life, and vibrance.

What are you passionate about?
I’m passionate about creating things, I love designing but I also love hands-on tactile projects that are a bit more whimsical and crafty. I’m passionate about learning, which sounds so cheesy, but I’m generally an antsy person and always have to be doing something, so I love experiencing and learning how to make or do new things.

What do you look forward to when you come to work each day?
The talented people who teach me. The projects I work on are incredible, but the people who help me are even more amazing. I have learned so much here in such a short time and have felt welcomed from the start. TWIST isn’t just a job but it’s expanded my family. They inspire me; make me laugh; and make me strive to be a better designer.

Why you love what you do?
I love solving problems with design that not only evoke an emotion but make people think. There’s something exciting about designing experiences for people that really impact and make an impression on them.

What are the things that you depend on or that just make life easier?
Coffee. I don’t think I could physically function without it.
