Good design is universal. Whether it's applied to technology, instruction, product or making lives easier, I strive to bring a clean sense of style and an eye for detail to all of my work. My experience across a variety of industries has given me the opportunity to adapt and refine my vision to new situations and new challenges, and made me a stronger designer.
In 2013, I co-founded the movement for Boston’s 2024 Summer Olympic bid. Armed with an idea, I helped register the Boston 2024 Organizing Committee as a non-profit organization working to encourage business leaders and city officials to explore an Olympic bid for the City of Boston. Though the Olympics didn't succeed, we were able to move the needle by putting such an idea out there. I learned a lot in the process and was able to grow by exposing myself to critique. It also taught me that only if we work together and listen to all voices, Boston will always succeed.
In 2017, I was inspired to make a run for public office after hearing President Obama's farewell speech to "grab a clipboard, get some signatures and run for office". I wasn't an experienced policy-maker but to me, politics is all about people and understanding their needs. I was a designer committed to changing my civic environment for the better — finding creative solutions to challenging problems. My belief has been that empathy and good design can be applied to reimagine how we work together to solve our complex civic challenges.
I'm a designer, I love solving problems and I love Boston. I've learned time and time again that the fear of failure should never hold you back from thinking big so let’s think big together!
