in progress: a technical language course for jewelers
My career path has evolved over the years to blend creativity, teaching, and design—but it has also been far more colorful than a traditional résumé suggests. From advertising and gallery work to yachting and even a feature on House Hunters International, I’ve built a career shaped by adaptability, storytelling, and cross-cultural experiences. Now, through my Creativity Freedom portfolio, I bring these diverse perspectives together with a focus on Instructional and Learning Experience Design.
