I am a community development professional who uses visual strategies and tools to facilitate communication between citizens, professionals, and policymakers. Along with being designer, I earned a BA and MA in International Development, served in the AmeriCorps, Peace Corps-Mongolia, William J. Clinton Fellowship to India, and Leadership Jackson Hole.

​ ​I developed my vision for On Board Innovations working in community development where I confronted multifaceted issues that required an understanding of local culture, economies, and input from professionals and community members. Understanding that illustrations bridge cultures, languages, and jargon, I would illustrate key concepts, which were used to communicate project goals between professionals and community members, leading to more equitable, sustainable, and compelling initiatives.
