In 2008 I co-founded 31 Bits, a socially-minded business using fashion to empower artisans in Uganda and Indonesia. As CEO, I oversee our team and operations, the company’s brand direction, and develop our overall omni-channel sales and marketing strategy.

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:

that works with over 1000 accounts nationwide. This includes, hiring,

Anthropologie, Von Maur, StitchFix, Madewell, Kohl’s, Quiksilver, Reef,

• Being an on-air guest on QVC multiple times.
• Producing and art-directing over 50 seasonal campaigns.
• Being part of developing a 5-year holistic development program for artisans
in Uganda, educating them in finance, business, and health.

I’ve had opportunities to give keynote and motivational speeches and teach workshops on a variety of topics such as marketing, branding, storytelling, international development work, leadership, justice, and more. I also do hourly consulting with female-owned startups.
