Frontier
Default State
Responsibility
Responsibility to dignify the human experience
I bring to design unique experience on the frontier(s)
I have seen how people act in extreme environments
I have a responsibility to apply my experience
I use this experience to challenge design that is fragile or unjust
I must be on the frontier
I thrive in areas where the rules are being defined—where it is up to me and my team to set precedentI
The frontier delineates divergent and convergent thinking
I am excited to work in the confluence of design, business, philosophy and political science
This is why I:
Became an Army Ranger
Climbed Mt. Denali and Mt. Rainier
Attended Columbia University
Chose Products of Design at SVA
Design is my default state
Frankly, I can't help myself
From the youngest age I exhibited symptoms of design. At the time, teachers and medical professionals were unable to make a diagnosis
Throughout my life, whenever I’ve moved away from creative spaces I find myself drawn back
I recognized that to do my best work, I had to allow myself to practice what I was good at
The process of design harnesses my natural strengths
