about me
I would much rather tell your story than mine. Here's a bio if you're into that sort of thing. In the meantime, here are a few things you should probably know before you click other things:
​
-
I live in San Antonio, Texas and know how to work the Zoom, so where you're located doesn't matter to me.
-
I work in partnership with you to understand, articulate, and document purpose. This helps ground all of the work and offers us the space to shift. Basically, I don't do things just to do them. Find out more about how I work in the FAQs.
-
I am interested in disrupting the way things have always been done in order to change outcomes. If you want to question and reimagine something, let's do that!
-
I know incredibly talented people who can help make your work better, so if I'm not the person to help with your project, I'll introduce you to others who can.
-
I seek ease in partnerships and inspiration in collaboration. So, like...working together should be fun and intentional and worth it for both us.
