I have sketched since a young age, so there's always been an artistic side, a visual side to my personality.

Connecting today is a dialogue.

The role of design at a company is to allow you to recreate yourself, to allow your company to find a new way of success before the old way fails.

I love design, so it's important for me to have a creative outlet.

Designers are by nature more inquisitive, more connected. They dig a little deeper in terms of insights. They turn those insights into innovation. That connection to the consumer is absolutely critical in driving innovation. It’s critical that design isn’t subjugated to the back room as a short order cook for marketing or for merchandising or sales. It has to be up front.

The best innovation comes from inclusive work environments that foster diverse ideas, nurture people with diverse talent and backgrounds, and create strong relationships with diverse communities.

Whatever you fix your eyes on is what you will encourage; fix your eyes on Jesus.
