Meet Our Founder

Innovation starts with a dream of what's possible.

As a child, I grew up watching Star Trek: The Next Generation. I watched the crew of the Enterprise boldly go into the unknown, travel through space and time, meet alien civilizations and have the coolest technology: the replicator and the holodeck.

Star Trek showed me anything is possible and my passion for the possible led me to pursue a degree in graphic design. In the world of creativity, there's no limits. Have you ever had a moment like that? What do you remember?

The belief in what’s possible, is what I loved about design. But it wasn’t only that. It was the magic of working with other brilliant minds who also believed anything was possible. The combination of all our minds together, extended possibilities beyond anything I could imagine.

I worked directly with talented Creative Directors who continually challenged me to innovate. They saw my potential and pushed me to dream bigger.

Armed with innovative mentalities & tactics, I later became an innovator at State Farm and an innovation catalyst at Chick-fil-A.

Being the lead to create a culture of innovation all across Chick-fil-A helped me find my second passion: empowering others to do more than they imagined – just like my design mentors did for me. I had the joy of transforming everyday employees into confident innovators. Nothing made me happier than to see people's inner-innovator become fully unleashed and put on display for all to see.

I've had countless joy-filled moments of seeing people's lives transformed through the power of innovation. Empowering people with innovation allows them to utilize their gifts and passions, leading to more meaningful, fulfilling work.

That's what innovation does for people. It transforms lives.

Today, I'm the founder of Abound Innovation Inc. and it's my mission to help organizations unleash the innovative potential of their employees by transforming them into confident innovators.

I believe you have innovative potential.
I believe you can become an innovator.

This is what’s possible. Interested? Let’s boldly go, together.

There's nothing that would make me happier than to come alongside you and be your guide.

Let me help you unlock innovation for you and your team.
