I break out into hives for no reason.
Your favorite part of working at Bold Insight
All of the different backgrounds and stories make for a really fun, never-ending learning experience.
In your spare time (or if you had spare time), you would absolutely do this:
Take yoga and make pottery…. but not at the same time.
How long have you been in the UX field?
6 years
You cannot start the day without doing this...
Washing my face and putting on SPF!! Sunscreen is important year round, my friends.
Your favorite city in the world is...and why?
Naxos, Greece or maybe Paris? I like the beach but I also like bread and shopping. It’s a toss up.
Your ultimate celebrity dinner party guest list would include:
The Zodiac Killer, Kim Jong-un, Kanye West, Ellen DeGeneres (to lighten things up a bit, maybe get Kanye out of his shell).
Any other facts to share?
I have an extremely cute dog named Birdie, who’s tongue is never fully inside her mouth.
