Knowledge should be free

I'm a graphic designer with a love for all things creative. I spent the first few years of my career teaching design but realized that talking about design wasn't as exciting as actually doing it. I said goodbye to the classroom and hello to the publishing world. But why settle for just one thrill when you can have many? I took the plunge into the digital marketing world and it's been a wild ride. I've acquired some new tricks up my sleeve and joined forces with Rebekah and Sam to bring BRIL.LA to life. Excited for all the cool stuff we have in store! And let's not forget my four little fur-balls who think I'm the dog's woof (pun intended).

I'm an accidental content marketer who discovered a love of writing somewhere in between working at Disneyland and coordinating weddings in Hawaii. I spent a few years freelancing copy in every niche you can think of and learning SEO along the way before wandering into a 9-5 in in SaaS tech marketing. After four years making our organic traffic chart look like the Alaska Mountain Range (#helloDenali), I blindly following Rebekah into her latest adventure. Now I surreptitiously color-code things at BRIL.LA and type something witty when poked with a stick. I'm also a wife, mom, and proud owner of Lila the tiny Boxer pup and Ruby Jean the very cuddly cat. Oh, and #BoomerSooner

I have lived in LA, Las Vegas, and Portland. I worked at Apple for 12 years. While working there I was able to receive two bachelor degrees in Psychology and Human Resource. I have experience in technology, project management, HR, marketing, customer service, and so much more. I have done A LOT and have enjoyed every bit of it. I love to learn. It has helped me know what I don't like and what I love to do. Project management and working with technology. Which is what brought me to BRIL.LA. I need to make sure everything is moving smoothly so we can kick butt.

After 20+ years of global brand work, standing on stages around the world, and chasing entrepreneurial dreams, I'm a (mostly) recovered narcissist. But now my powers are used for good. When not behind the screen, I'm driving growth as co-founder of BRIL.LA. In my spare time, I'm continuing my lifelong quest to trick my family into thinking I'm a gourmet Italian chef. (hint: the jig is up)

I became a copywriter after deciding that I was done-done with slinging cocktails behind the bar and pouring milk love hearts on lattes. I want to reduce the amount of boring copy and gimmicky marketing tactics on the internet. I geek out on branding and I am one of the last 462 people on the planet who still read fiction, daily. I self medicate by running at sunrise and journaling. I love learning, being challenged, getting creative with words, and helping to make an impact with my work. I guess that's why I'm here.

I'm an OG cat herder. Jack of all trades and master of none. I got my career chops as a software architect by spending 15 years in big consulting. Then 7 digitizing big energy, followed by a complete unraveling of everything I thought I knew when I joined big tech as an independent consultant in 2008. I officially retired in 2016 but that wasn't acceptable to Ambreen or Rebekah. So here I am making things blink and pop when they ask me to at BRIL.LA. I'm a builder and love breaking things too. I got 4 doggos that love me and we dig tacos. #lakers #stanford #bruins
