From producing theme park attractions and physical branded experiences 🎢, to launching augmented reality social media bits 🤳, to managing a small-but-mighty design team startup 🏡, then joining a non-profit education tech org 📚, and finally leading the digital design operations at the biggest hospitality chain there is 🏨 — I’ve done them all.

I thrive in multi-disciplinary, fast-paced teams. My role is to empower them by establishing scalable processes, fostering a healthy team culture, managing resources, building stakeholder relationships, and connecting the dots while shepherding 🐑 projects successfully to the finish line.

I believe in the power of good storytelling and human connection 👬. It evokes emotions, sparks conversations, and is meaningful ❤. I always strive to tell stories through spaces, words, design, and technology — intersecting all of them to produce the best experiences for our users.

I am a poet 📝 & spoken word artist. As an ambivert, I believe that written words are just as powerful as spoken. Check out my writing! Along with Jasmine Lawrence 👧🏾, I started Align by Line, a podcast where we have candid conversations about life with the help of poetry. Follow us on Instagram too!

My poem Through The Dark Valley and Across The Rainbow Bridge is now published in an anthology book “Out Loud” 🏳️‍🌈. You can order a copy!

I am also in the process to publish Not All Fallen Is Lost, my first poetry book collection! Meanwhile, a coloring book version of one of the poems is already available in Amazon!

I’m a self-proclaimed Home Cook (@iyos_kitchen). Sharing food 🥘 is the most beautiful act of spreading love, connecting with people, and building community.

I’ve been playing the piano 🎹 and singing (mostly in the shower 🚿) since I was little. When COVID19 turned our lives upside down in 2020 🙃, I found solace in running 🏃🏻‍♂️ and being a plant dad 🪴 to keep me sane. If you live in San Francisco and thinking of adopting some Monsteras in your life, hit me up! 🙋🏻‍♂️
