Design From a Different Perspective.
Disability advocate, outdoor enthusiast, music lover, and creative storyteller, that’s me in a nutshell. I am passionate about turning ideas into meaningful designs that connect with people and reflect the world as I see it. As you scroll down, you will learn a little more about what inspires me, what keeps me grounded, and of course, my dog, Apollo Bear. Enjoy!
How I Turn Awareness
Into Action
As an advocate in Colorado Springs, I work with the Autism Society of Colorado, run my own adult support group, and stay active in local disability rights efforts. My work in advocacy is all about bringing awareness, acceptance, and real change to my community, one person at a time.
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've Explored
Travel has always been one of my favorite ways to learn and grow. I love exploring new places, meeting people from different backgrounds, and experiencing the traditions that make every culture unique. Each trip leaves me with new memories, stories, and a deeper appreciation for the world around me.
Reasons Why I Love My Dog Apollo Bear
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.
He Keeps My Secrets
can tell him anything, even on a bad day. He’s the best listener I know—no judgment, just love.
Things I'm Passionate About
Life is better when it’s full of color, laughter, and creativity. I love spending my time exploring the things that make me happiest, visiting art galleries, connecting with my community, listening to live music, and celebrating every chance to dress up or paint something new. These moments remind me to slow down, stay curious, and enjoy the little things that make life feel full.
