Something unique about you summed up in one sentence
I love to travel (off the beaten path if I have to, but I do enjoy running water where I can get it)–I’d choose mountains over beaches any day.
Your favorite part of working at Bold Insight
The people. The work. I know that’s all of it, but I love it all.
In your spare time you would absolutely do this:
Turn on a good BBC murder mystery (the great British Bake Show would work too), lounge on the couch or bake something.
How long have you been in the UX field?
8+ years
Your favorite city in the world is...and why?
Chicago…it’s home. Hard to pick a favorite to visit. Paris, Istanbul, Auckland, Queenstown all come to mind.
You cannot start the day without doing this…
Having breakfast and a hot cup of chai
Your ultimate celebrity dinner party guest list would include:
Agatha Christie (have to thank her in some way for giving me years of reading entertainment) and Anne Boleyn (would probably regret this, but I have to know–was she scheming and power-hungry or just an innocent pawn?)
Long-term personal or professional goal?
Not really
