Role on the team: Marketing Support

What do you do when you are not working on TEDx? I run a boutique multidisciplinary graphic design studio, helping mission-driven brands communicate and connect through the power of design. We specialize in higher education, nonprofit, and the arts with clients in Boston, Los Angeles, New York and Portsmouth.

When I’m not at my office, you will find me hiking and skiing with my husband, son and daughter, running with my dog, walking with friends, thrifting, rollerblading and doing yoga.

Favorite TED Talk ever: It is very hard to pick just one and I have to admit that this might not be my favorite since there are just so many great talks. The one that made me laugh and has stuck with me is called This is What Happens When You Reply to Spam Email – a reflection on the absurdities of our digital lives.

Favorite part of TEDxPortsmouth: The people. It’s such a wonderful group of talented, motivated, smart, thoughtful people who want to knock it out of the park every year. And they do.

And, if you could see any historical figure, living or dead, give a TED Talk who would it be and what would they talk about? I would love to see Queen Hapshetsut talk about ruling in an era when men dominated society. I would love to hear about how she gained control and held respect.
