Running. Outside. In 2019, I challenged myself to run a mile everyday and it has now become one of my favorite things I do for myself. Running is my best time to get away and find good ideas. It is an inspiring time to explore new places, relax, clear my head, and push myself. Most weeks you can find me out running on the trails, or racing in the mountains. And now, exploring new routes in the Netherlands and mountains in Europe!
Inktober. A month of drawing prompts every October is a creative outlet that is different than daily work. It gets me to try new subjects and styles, and puts me out of my comfort zone. The best part is I am off the computer and back to pen and paper.
Airplane Interiors. Problem solving to the max! Think quite literally - square peg (cabinets, beds, etc.) into a round hole (the fuselage). Oh, and be super lightweight at the same time. I used to design the interiors of corporate airplanes. This combined a unique persona with a hyper specific need, and is what got me started in the world of user experience.
Ballet. Discipline, dedication, confidence, and grit. The best things to come out of all of the hours (and years) in those pointe shoes! Before miles on the trails came the hours in a ballet studio. My foundation was built in ballet companies across the United States.
