I believe life is a design process, continuously shaped by personal experiences. As we grow, we create our lives through our contributions, crafting a legacy rooted in our self-perception, societal role, and the impact of our actions. Ultimately, it's the journey—how we share our experiences and how others receive them—that defines our lasting influence.

In my early adulthood, I spent a lot of time feeling anxious. It wasn’t obvious, but I struggled to make meaningful connections and constantly sought external validation, never truly feeling satisfied.

I focused more on what I could gain rather than on how I could show up as a supportive and positive person.

In my career, I often felt restless and engaged in work that didn’t resonate deeply with me. I craved meaning, focus, and productivity but struggled with confidence, a clear sense of purpose, and the tools to transform my creative ideas into tangible results.

When my choices didn't reflect my true desires, I became overwhelmed with the sense there was more out there for me.

I spent a good part of my early adulthood anxious. On the outside, you might not have seen it but on the inside, I lacked a meaningful connection to myself, always searching for external validation. I was never satisfied.

With my community, I wondered what was in it for me rather than thinking about how I could show up as a supportive and positive friend. 

In my career I felt restless, working for something I wasn’t truly connected to. I wanted to create from a more meaningful and productive space but lacked confidence, a clear sense of my purpose, and the tools for how to get somewhere.

Even more, my decisions were rarely aligned with what I really desired deep down. I knew there was more, and I wanted access to it.

 

After hitting a breaking point, I spent the next 15 (15!) years cultivating a path for who I wanted to become - a combination of many things. I made myself a top priority.

Looking back, I wish there would have been a program like the Design Mind Project when I didn't know where to turn. That deficit led me to bring a culmination of experiences and people together in one place. A place for people who believe there is something more, something deeper on the other side of whatever you are going through.

After reaching a breaking point, I dedicated the next 15 years to crafting a path toward the person I aspired to become—a blend of many facets. This journey involved reconnecting with my roots, envisioning a more empowering future, building a fulfilling vision, and putting structures in place to bring my creative ideas to life. 

This journey led me to design and build Design Mind—a program created to guide others in discovering their path to contribution and personal fulfillment. 

Thank you for being here!
