Candidate Statement

My goal would be to create a more engaged, connected, and inspired design community through ASID across all career stages-students, new professionals, and seasoned designers. I believe we can achieve this by expanding on hosting consistent, high-value events that blend education, networking, and fun: CEUs, lunch-and-learns, chapter mixers, and cross-discipline roundtables and also increasing our personal outreach to members to make each designer feel seen and valued.
