About
I am the Innovation and Engagement Mangager for Teton County, WY in Jackson Hole. I lead Strategic Initiatives with the Board of County Commissioners to address critical problems, engage with community members, and work with staff to improve services.
I created Design Good Works to envision impactful transformations for communities ready for change and was the Design Lead at LuckyTruck, where I grew the product and brand from early-stage startup to acquisition.
I have a Master's in User Experience Design & Brand and a Master's in International Development. I've worked at the intersection of design and problem-slving across communities in the States (AmeriCorps), India (Clinton Fellowship to India), and Mongolia (Peace Corps).
