That's what you call a non-linear career path :)

I began my career in financial services working in venture capital, financial systems consulting, and Big 4 accounting. My projects ranged from building models for VC investors, advising CFO's on their international billing procedures, and helping Silicon Valley start-ups through the IPO process.

Working closely with start-ups and constantly being surrounded by smart people inspired me to push boundaries and reimagine what was possible in my own career. At the time, my experience was primarily in finance with a bit of systems engineering sprinkled in. I wanted to supplement my background with product design skills and decided to go to grad school. I attended USC's Iovine & Young Academy where I filled in my knowledge gaps and built cool products like Icarus!

I joined Create Crisp while I was still in school to gain agency experience and apply my design skills to client-facing work. Being at Crisp brings me full circle to working in professional services but enables me to combine my knowledge in design, business, and engineering to build exciting experiences for clients.

In addition to my work at Crisp, I also help start ups and organizations build products and experiences that address modern problems like climate change, the future of work after COVID, and how to attract and communicate with Gen Z.
