Hello! I'm a designer currently based in San Francisco working at Intercom, following a three year stint in freezing Chicago.

It was after five years of pre-med studies when I realized I was meant to be a creative. From a young age I was always making art and design, teaching myself HTML & CSS at age 14 and spending hours tinkering my Geocities website (with very poorly written code). It was a passion that couldn’t be ignored.

Today, I strive to design with purpose, value my craft and have a penchant for lettering and typography (just ask about my right wrist). While I embrace the digital world and eat the Internet for breakfast, the tactile gratification of film photography and letterpress just can't be replaced by pixels on a screen for me. Being a designer has allowed me to see, think, and learn about the world through a different lens and satiate my perpetual curiosity. When not designing, I enjoy photography, cycling, practicing yoga, rock climbing, exploring the great outdoors and eating tasty food with friends.

Lately I've been asked this a lot: "Do you live here?" And each time I'm asked I don't quite know how to answer it. 🏝 Six months ago I arrived in Bali seeking temporary refuge from my ongoing travels - I was frustrated, tired, lost. Little did I know I would still be here now. It's what happens when you find your transformational space I guess - you continue to become a happier, healthier, better version of yourself while here, it just feels like home. . I grew less interested in seeing new countries / landmarks / sightseeing and more interested in discovering the fascinating inner landscape that's within myself. Turning the vision inward - something I'd completely neglected for years, or even decades. . Within the safe space I've felt here, I continue to bring more awareness into all the parts of me buried in the unconscious parts of my brain. The good, the bad, the ugly. It can get uncomfortable and painful as hell at times. But this is the work I needed to do to heal. . I learn to embrace all the parts of me - self love. Not in a way that's based on vanity or ego, but in self compassion, self care, self acceptance, self soothe. I continue to shed all the layers of armor and mental /emotional weight I've carried for decades from family upbringing, societal conditioning, expectations, competition, insecurities, etc . Within all of us is a beautiful, pure and radiant heart that's waiting to shine through, and shared with the world. Before we heal the world, we must first heal ourselves ❤️✨ . . . #selflove #selfinquiry #personalgrowth #yogaeverydamnday #hathayoga #travelingyogi #canggu #bali #passionpassport #vscocam
"In practice, there will always be a movement back and forth between awareness and equanimity. When equanimity is weak there will be increasing fragmentation. When awareness is weak, we'll find ourselves constantly hijacked by our unconscious projects. As more abiding center is cultivated, it calls for and creates the container for more awareness. As awareness is honed, and more of the unconscious is revealed, it calls for a strong abiding center to hold it." —Stephen Cope, Yoga and the Quest for the True Self . . . #consciousness #equanimity #stephencope #yogastudies #yogaeverydamnday #travelingyogi #hathayoga #selfstudy #mandala #canggu #bali #passionpassport #vscocam
The yoga tradition states that "Asana (physical postures) addresses our relationship to the past. Pranayama (conscious control of the breath) effects our relationship to the present. And meditation impacts our relationship to the future." . When we practice, all the asana and pranayama is preparation for meditation- the crown jewel of yoga, where we can really extract all the benefits from our practice to take into our life off the mat. . In the days post-training, I've been pondering this a lot - what my next steps are in this journey. The truth is I have no fucking idea. But I trust and know that if I keep up with my practice, the answer will come to me in time. I don't need to rush. I stay present, be still, and then just listen. 😌🕉✨ . . #yogaeverydamnday #travelingyogi #hathayoga #tantrayoga #yogini #YTT #thepracticebali #canggu #bali #selfinquiry #selfdiscovery #shiva #consciousness #meditation #vscocam #passionpassport #spiritualjourney
My heart hurts for what's happening in the United States right now. There's so much disconnect, the separation continues when we need to come together more than ever. Let's stop pointing fingers and see more commonalities than differences. Be open and give yourself the opportunity to see the light in others before immediately putting a label on them. Less competition and more connection. Create connection, even when it's hard, especially when it's hard. Bridge those gaps in your communities so no one is left out and feels unheard. Love love love ❤️ My thoughts to everyone hurting and affected by the Las Vegas shooting last night 🙏🕯🌷 #lovelovelove #peace #namaste

I was so filled with gratitude when we sat in this final circle, closing off our month-long yoga teacher training together at @thepracticebaliyoga. . It seemed like yesterday when we first sat in this circle on the first day, as strangers - all filled with excitement, nervousness and uncertainty. Fast forward 30 days and 200 hours of class together later, we became a family, a SANGHA. Thank you all for sharing your love and light. . Eternal thanks to our teachers @octaviosalvado @karina.guthrie @jyoti_murray @whollyhumans @pranavidyayoga @nikrobsonyoga for your unparalleled passion for teaching and passing on the tradition of yoga. For stoking the fire inside us, opening our hearts, expanding our minds. For inspiring each of us to become a beacon of light in the world, a force of nature. There's no going back now! 🦋✨ . . #thepracticebali #YTT #yogateachertraining #sangha #yogaeverydamnday #canggu #bali #keeptraditionalive #tantrayoga #hathayoga #omasatoma #namaste
