Having a strong community makes me (and my work) stronger. Although a self-proclaimed introvert, I know the importance of creating a sense of belonging with a group. So, aside from my pottery community, I set aside time to contribute to my professional communities.

I am very involved in the startup and tech community here in Northwest Arkansas. I attend, speak at, and help facilitate events in which those communities can come together.  

After feeling a lack of a professional design community, I also helped found a local chapter of AIGA, a non-profit design community in 2016. It became the fastest growing chapter in just over a year.
