BA, Fine Art Photography, SSU

Post Graduate Degree, Graphic Design & Branding, FIDM SF

Certificate Program, UX Design, General Assembly SF

Certificate Program, Digital Marketing, Cornell University 

Here’s the technical stuff: BA in Fine Arts from Sonoma State University (Photography) followed up with a post-graduate degree in Graphic Design from FIDM. Certificate in UX Design from General Assembly. Certificate in Digital Marketing from Cornell. Three years as Art Director at award winning advertising agency, The Engine is Red. Two years of freelance consulting. One year building the Creative Team and strategy at California’s largest independent ISP, Sonic.Net. One year founding the brand at John Hancock’s investing app, Twine. Three plus years as founding leader of Creative at Chime, where I scaled the team and laid the foundation for a billion-dollar brand in the height of a pandemic.

Currently building the team, and the future of lending, at Upstart.

 Here’s the fun stuff: I may not be the traditional boardroom archetype, but I’m whip-smart, laser-focused, and I get things done. My teams are efficient, effective, and inspired. I’m a zombie-movie super-fan, take butter in my coffee, and fantasize about cold river swims on hot summer days.

Filled with questions? Suddenly filled with the urge to “pick my brain”? You’re in luck.
