I develop and design educational toys and games for children for Educational Insights, where I play by day as Creative Director. You know, I've been developing products for kids, parents, and teachers for the last 15 years (since I was a wee 21) and I draw so much motivation from the product devleopment process. My roots are in the desert and in the chill, as I've lived in Arizona, Pennsylvania, and now California and was brought up in a hippie-inspired household led by my artist/teacher/flower child mother. This year I'll finish my Master's in Humanities with an emphasis in Creative Writing and will finally stop going to school. My B.A. is in English. Check out my new color matching game from Educational Insights....The Sneaky, Snacky Squirrel Game (Google it and you'll find it on Amazon or at educationalinsights.com)...I'm very proud of it! :)

Seeing the world, activating my true purpose, and meeting people who are hilarious, engaging, smart, sassy, humble, and multifaceted.

Find yourself and you'll shape those around you.

My TED story? Well, I'll have to revisit this after TED. :)

Interacting with children. Turning something tarnished into a gleaming gem. Appreciative inquiry. Singing. Meditating. Identifying talent. Fragments of foreign language.
