Using MacGyver-like resourcefulness and near yogic flexibility, she worked in all aspects of the art department on films, television shows, commercials and more in Los Angeles. The magical, make-believe realm of entertainment inspired her to bring fun and interaction into the home and office, while the disposable nature of sets motivated her to seek sustainable solutions to everyday problems. She completed a Masters degree in Industrial Arts at San Francisco State University, and uses design to engage and inspire, employing playful accents to create a joyful environment. hide
