ABOUT
Blending Empiricism and Creativity
Summary
Nature Inspired Systems-Based Thinker
In the 21st century, tools, information technology, and the media landscape are integral parts of contemporary culture, fundamentally shaping human experience. What we see, what we hear, what we feel, informs what we know, what we eat, what we do and how we do it. I believe it is necessary to take a dynamic, integrated, multilevel approach when trying to understand how we experience and affect the world around us.
I have a passion for science and the arts and find that a synthesis between the two is essential for progress in our modern world. Thus, I seek to blend empiricism and creativity in my writing, business pursuits, and healing process.

I have acquired an array of unique skill sets that endow me with a solid, creative, and intellectual foundation to build connections and find solutions. Trained in Media and Communications, Behavioral Neuroscience, and Psychobiology, I use multi-disciplinary insights to craft UX strategies.
