Maintaining an Always Learning Attitude

June 11, 2019

In September, I came to work one day and discovered that I had a brand new role. I needed to learn and document a completely different product. It was a bit of a shock but I didn’t freak out (well not much) because this is not the first time I’ve parachuted, pen in hand, into a new product.

I love making music.

This February, I took part in a world-wide event to create ten original songs or 35 minutes worth of original music during the shortest month of the year, called the RPM challenge.

The Mind-Body Connection

May 24, 2019

One of the people on my team has a routine. She studies a topic she has to write about, takes some notes, and then goes on a walk. Often when I begin designing a project, I’ll throw up notes on a whiteboard and pace back and forth in front of it while tossing a baseball in my hand.
