Born and raised in Colorado, I split my time between all things design and nature.
My career path has taken me from fine art into product design, and my love for adventure has landed me in professional rock climbing and rescue. I've balanced these two dichotomies for over a decade, finding overlap in leadership, communication, systems, and performance under pressure.
In 2025, I became the first woman in the world to complete the Yosemite Triple Crown, climbing El Capitan, Half Dome, and Mt. Watkins in 23hr and 36min. Earlier in the year, I also broke the women's speed record on the Naked Edge in Boulder, Colorado. I've worked on Yosemite's Search and Rescue Team while balancing product design work for startups and SMBs, considering both types of work incredibly impactful and fulfilling.
