cheerful...optimistic...knowledgeable

I cannot Live without… Besides my family, I would say the show The Office. If I am sad, I watch The Office. If I am happy, I watch The Office. If I am hungry/tired/grumpy….The Office. Its the cure for all ailments.

How I play… I’m up for nearly any adventure! I like to rock climb, hike, see new cities and meet new people. Going on weekend trips with my husband and two girls or a trip with friends makes my heart content.

Why I do what I do… I love creating moments of inspiration and beauty. My graduate thesis was based on the concept Suspension of Disbelief and using the same principles a playwright uses to engage the audience or user as they journey through a building. The idea of creating an environment people can engage with and find hope and inspiration.

Random fact… I am double jointed in both of my elbows and wrists. Oddly enough this does not win me any added benefits in daily life. But maybe someday I’ll win a contest of some sort.

My last meal before zombies attack… It would be a 4 course meal. To start a Washington sushi roll from Nudo, followed by baked mac and cheese from Costco and Pizza Hut deep dish pizza (crust only)dipped in ranch and then I’d wash it all down with raw brownie mix.
