Who I am

I search for innovative and sustainable ways of creative problem solving. I love collaborative brainstorming for imaginative problem solving.

My brand, beautiful reason, showcases sustainable solutions in the areas of reusable products, re-purposed materials, and creative designs.

I have extensive experience in a wide range of design and construction - theatre, interior, fashion, accessories, art, and textile manipulation. I am at ease in all these worlds and find that they support and enhance each other.

I am a post-secondary instructor for over 20 years covering a wide range of subjects. I believe in active learning, providing a challenging, supportive environment where critical thinking is practiced. I absolutely love teaching, encouraging creativity and imagination in the students and seeing it reflected in their work. I am skilled at curriculum development at both the program and course level and have developed courses and entire programs of design.

I am a dedicated professional who is interested in so many areas. Life is all about exploring, learning, discovering, and creating.
