I’ve dropped some additional work samples here, in case you find yourself thinking, “Gee, but has she ever thrown a dinner party in a human-sized bubble?” Yes. Yes, I have.

The Curious 100
I led The Curious 100, an annual Eames Institute program honoring 100 designers, architects, activists, chefs, and more using their work to take on some of our most pressing challenges.I developed the brand system, cross-platform product design, environmental design, and collateral. Additionally, I am leading the strategy for extending this program from an annual media cycle to an enduring community outreach program with an eye toward reengaging participants and activating a network effect to help this program become a revenue driver.
The system brings this year’s 100 honorees together into a fabric of fleurons that both celebrates each person’s individuality and uplifts them as part of a greater, more vibrant whole.

Bandcamp Design Ops & Brand
As Design Director, one of my most enduring contributions was the implementation and leadership of Design System, Brand, and Accessibility Design Ops. These grew into cross-functional groups that have significantly expedited shipping high quality product and brand at Bandcamp.
Shedd Aquarium Accessibility Audit
As a Senior Consultant at Inzovu, I led a comprehensive digital accessibility audit for the Shedd Aquarium, translating my findings into prioritized, organization-wide improvements aligned with WCAG standards and internal design principles.
Flower Press
In 2019, I formed Flower Press, an equitable publishing practice centering historically marginalized authors and practitioners. Flower Press began as a radical experiment, taking as its premise the supposition that given the opportunity, artists and publishers can exist in a mutually sustaining and beneficial relationship.
Homeboat

DesignBuildBLUFF
DesignBuildBLUFF is a program within the University of Utah's architecture school. Students collaborate with Bluff, Utah community members to design, plan, and build custom homes, drawing on local wisdom, materials, and building techniques along the way. I led a comprehensive brand process encompassing primary research with the University, students, and members of the Bluff community.
Dinners
Food is a critical component of my personal practice. Over the years, I have programmed many pop-ups, one-off dinners, run grassroots organizations, community resource centers, and guerilla lunch projects all focused around breaking bread with friends and strangers.
