I help people and organizations find joy in their space, work, and at play, drawing on 25 years as a marketing communications specialist, project manager, and global program director in technology, academic, and non-profit sectors. I'm now semi-retired and enjoying life along the central coast of San Luis Obispo County California and devoted full time to consulting--locally and beyond. A big kid at heart, my sense of adventure also leads me around the world as a travel writer, arts educator, and design junkie. In my leisure time, I particularly enjoy slow travel, live music, Jane Austen, film, bowling, kayaking, day dreaming, sea glass, gardening, Muggle Studies, all-things vintage, and antique treasure hunting.

Our biggest Chamber fundraiser of the year is happening in less than two weeks! Did you grab your tickets yet?!? It’s a fun night…I’ll be there joining my Chamber colleagues and all of the folks that come together for this event. C
On repeat until it sinks in.

I often find acorns in the spring from enterprising, yet forgetful, squirrels and birds. This is the first acorn I’ve found that had its own ideas. #bloomwhereyouareplanted #mightyoak (p.s. that little curlicue at the roots end…**chefs k
I was concerned last year when I moved/replanted the aeonium … worried that maybe it would need more morning sun. Turns out this is her spot. #californiagarden #succulents #succulentgarden #bloom #prettythings
Today was a good day for a good day. #superbloom #pinnaclesnationalpark #roadtrip #adventure
Incredible sight today to drive into Cayucos and notice the Vets Hall has officially made the move! (You can’t see it on the approach from Cayucos drive!) They slid the building over to allow for a new foundation. Scheduled to be open again nex

I see you. May you always feel seen, safe, celebrated, and loved. #transgendervisibilityday
One of my #philodendrons is dropping this leaf. The brilliant yellow (and waning chartreuse), transparency, and pattern complexity is too pretty to not photograph. #plantlover
These are five tenants that drive both my personal life and business practices. I stand for those who need equity and justice most today. I care about people. So when basic freedoms and protections are under attack, together we must demand change, in
New #staging project for @ccreproperties…This listing in Cayucos was a fun one…a house that has been a furnished long term rental for some time and accumulated a mix of styles over the years. I took the existing footprint, modernized an
It’s the #morrobaycitywideyardsale weekend. Says to self: don’t go, let others find treasurers this weekend. And for the love of all that’s holy DONT. BUY.MORE.CHICKEN.THINGS. Self: buys more chicken things (Lenox teapot!). And owl
That moment you realize the AI has you figured out. I do frequently seem to end up with chickens on my head.
Shout out and boost for @saltybagelslo…who had me on the socials at “Gluten free forever, shitty never.” True story. Finally got to try the bagel bites at the @avocadoshackmb pop up. Run there, don’t walk, away from your favo
