Music, storytelling, and other forms of art have always been important outlets for me. There's a picture of me from when I was 3 or 4, banging on pots and pans like a drum set. I've also always had an interest in science, engineering, and systems thinking. I still organize my grocery lists by the aisle. My proclivity towards both art and science has led me to audio engineering, environmental engineering, and inevitably to UX research. I believe the most interesting things in life come from intersections. I’ve found that exploring and dissecting those intersections, especially the ones discovered in the space between creativity and logic, often yields new meaning and opens new paths.
