Constantly seeking new ways to design and solve old problems. I am a storyteller, designer, entrepreneur, question-asker, forward thinker, and dot connector. I am curious about the nurture to our nature, the intersection of science and art, the necessity of systems thinking, and how we do health. I also love designing furniture.
