A LITTLE ABOUT ME

Different interests.
A common thread.

CONNECTED BY SAN FRANCISCO

I’m drawn to work that brings ideas and people together. My background spans public policy, government affairs, and creative design, with San Francisco running through it all.

I’ve worked across local government, tech, and nonprofits, including SF City Hall, Meta, and Together SF. Along the way, creativity has stayed central to how I communicate, solve problems, and connect with people.

Outside work, I give my time to cultural and civic organizations. This is a place to share a little of everything — what I make, what I care about, and the communities I’m part of.
