Your favorite part of working at Bold Insight
I love that we’re helping people – from clients to users, we’re truly designing a better overall experience.
In your spare time (or if you had spare time), you would absolutely do this:

How long have you been in the UX field?
7 years
You cannot start the day without doing this...
Listening to NPR!
Your favorite city in the world is...and why?
Bogota, Colombia. It is a beautiful city and when the World Cup comes around, I am an avid Colombia supporter…. sorry, America.
Your ultimate celebrity dinner party guest list would include:
Taylor Swift. Barack Obama. Oliver Sacks – Neurologist/Author, RIP (If you haven’t read “The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat,” then you need to!). Albus Dumbledore – Greatest Wizard of All Time. Also, RIP.
Do you have a long-term personal or professional goal you'd like to share?
I speak some Spanish, but I would like to study other languages, including Mandarin. At some point, I plan to live outside the US for at least a year. Finally, I want to learn to play the ukulele, because who doesn’t like a ukulele?
