Now

Inspired by the /now page movement, here’s what’s keeping me busy lately.

Written in February 2026 from my home base in the Pacific Northwest.

Designing Experiences (Community Building)

I am partnering with businesses and organizations to move beyond simple “events” and create genuine communities. My focus is on the strategy and design of gatherings — making sure that when people come together, they feel seen, inspired, and part of something bigger.

Some of what I’m working on right now:

  • Coworking Tuesdays: I co-launched Coworking Tuesdays with the Bothell/Kenmore Chamber of Commerce — rotating local venues where business owners can work alongside each other, build real relationships, and strengthen the local business community.
  • CEO Society Seattle/Tacoma: I stepped into a new role as Director of Public Relations for CEO Society, a membership community for female founders in the greater Seattle and Tacoma area. We’re focused on empowering women entrepreneurs through accountability, knowledge sharing, and genuine support.
  • Food Access Advocacy: I’ve been working with Third Place Commons to raise awareness around food access in our community — helping people find meaningful, sustainable ways to show up for those in need.

Writing and Thinking Out Loud

I’ve been writing more lately, exploring ideas around technology, connection, and what it means to start over. A corporate layoff last year ended up being the push I needed to step into something more aligned with who I am. I wrote about that experience in Getting Laid Off Was the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me. I’ve also been digging into how we’ve outsourced our intuition to technology and what that costs us in terms of real human connection.

The Great Outdoors

When I’m not designing experiences or writing, I am usually on a mountain or deep in the ocean, scuba diving.

  • Current Obsession: Training for my next adventure (likely involving elevation gain).
  • Scuba Diving: There’s something grounding about descending into silence, moving slowly, and paying attention to every breath.
  • Why: The outdoors is where I find my true cadence.

Connect

I separate my time into two distinct buckets. Pick the one that fits you:
