Product Designer

I enjoy running, hiking, kayaking, motorcycling, fishing, and crabbing in Puget Sound. One of my biggest passions is cooking where I do private catering for friends and family. I am also a proud pet owner of 3 neurotic cats and 2 dogs! I am passionate about giving back to the community. In the last 4 years, I've prepared weekly nutritious dinners for 40+ women and families living in their car through the Safe Parking Program.
