Find Me Outside
Nature has all kinds of wonders to explore.
This is where I go to unwind and meditate on the beautiful sounds of mother nature. You will find me there or hiking with my two crazy cattle dogs.
Yoga is in my daily practice. If I am lucky enough to find a spot outside near where I live in Dublin, Ohio, or in my backyard to practice, that is my happy place.
I Love what I do!
Why I Design
Three things in life that make me get up in the morning....after coffee, of course!
MAKING AN IMPACT
HELPING PEOPLE
CHALLENGING MYSELF
For me, the drive to get up every morning is fueled by the passion for making an impact, helping people, and constantly challenging oneself.
Crafting designs that resonate and leave a lasting impression fulfills the deep desire to make a difference in the world, one pixel at a time.
The opportunity to help people—improving user experiences, simplifying complex processes, or bringing ideas to life—brings purpose and connection to my work.
The ever-present challenge of pushing creative boundaries, learning new skills, and solving intricate problems keeps the mind sharp and the spirit invigorated, turning each day into a new adventure.
How I get inspired
“Stay afraid, but do it anyway. What's important is the action. You don’t have to wait to be confident. Just do it, and eventually, the confidence will follow.”
— Carrie Fisher
Inspiration comes in all forms; my family is mine. They are #1. Micheal, my partner, Aiden, my son, and my parents and friends inspire me because they matter. Their guidance, support, and love are the only inspiration I need.
And, yes, quotes inspire me. In a past work experience, I had this quote on my whiteboard.
"If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito."
– Dalai Lama
This was the perfect quote for the moment when inspiration was lacking. Hard times at work and with family make finding inspiration difficult. But we must carry on.
"Nothing in life that matters is not earned."
