Design, Re-Wired
Disability advocate, outdoor enthusiast, music lover, and creative storyteller, that’s me in a nutshell.
I see the world a little differently, and that perspective shapes everything I create. My work isn’t about following trends or checking boxes. It’s about making things that feel real, that connect, and that actually mean something to the people using them.
As you scroll, you’ll get a glimpse into what inspires me, what keeps me grounded, and of course… my dog, Apollo Bear.

My Story: Unmasked
Advocacy is what I do, but it isn’t all I am. I’m a traveler. A dog person (shout out to Apollo & Dorothy). A music lover. I see the world through a lens that most people don’t get. And that’s fine. I’ve stopped trying to fit into the standard box. Instead, I’m just out here doing the work and finding joy in the adventures in between. No filter, no apologies, and no mask required.
Walk for Autism
At the cosplay Walk for Autism, every costume told a story of creativity, pride, and self expression. It reminded me that advocacy can be joyful, too.
Places I Love
Travel Feeds The Soul
San Juan
Island heat and old streets
The blue cobblestones of Old San Juan and that heavy, salty humidity that just sticks to everything.
Antigua
Street food and bright water
Neon blue water that doesn’t look real and the smell of street food drifting through the humid air.
London
Big crowds and the underground
So many humans everywhere. Each person is in their own bubble until we’re all just “people on a train.”
Pikes Peak
Cold wind and high altitudes
Air so thin it makes your head light and the kind of mountain silence that actually rings in your ears.
Iceland
Rainy days and hot springs
Horizontal rain, moss that feels like thick velvet, and the weird, sulfur smell of the hot springs.
St. Kitts
Island sun and tropical trees
Wild green monkeys in the trees and the most intense, yellow sun I have ever felt on my skin.
Reasons Why I Love My Dog Apollo
Unconditional love
He loves me more than anyone else in the world. Every day, no matter what, he's there with me.
He Makes Me Laugh
His weird little zoomies and the way he gets excited in the snow makes me laugh every time.
Secret Keeper
Ican tell him anything, even on a bad day. He’s the best listener I know. No judgment, just love.
Off The Clock
Slow Down, Stay Curious, & Enjoy The Little Things
Art
Quiet rooms and color
I’m a big fan of wandering through galleries. I’m usually just there for the colors and the quiet.
Volunteering
Community and local action
I am active in the local disability rights community. It’s just about showing up and doing the work.
Music
Live shows and loud bass
Live shows are my reset button. If the bass is loud enough to feel in my chest, I’m happy.
Chunky Unicorn
Authenticity and loud ideas
This is my business and my brand. It’s basically just an extension of me being loud and authentic.
Painting
Canvas and color
I just like making a mess on a canvas. It’s tactile, it’s colorful, and it keeps my hands busy.
Halloween
Costumes and over-the-top ideas
I’m the person who starts planning their costume in July. Being too much is kind of the point.
