About

With a diverse educational background and a passion for design and coaching, I am the Founder & Creative Director of SavantCoCo, where I empower purpose-driven entrepreneurs to establish a compelling digital presence. My journey began with a Bachelor of Arts in Human Cultural Geography and Italian from the University of Oregon, followed by advanced studies in architecture at the University of Colorado Denver. I honed my design skills as a Senior Product Designer at Workiva and Charles Schwab, where I led strategic design initiatives. My career path also includes a transformative stint at Atlassian, contributing to their cloud initiative. Currently, I am pursuing a Master Coach Training at Elementum Coaching Institute to further enhance my coaching capabilities. My work is driven by a commitment to helping clients achieve financial resilience and community impact through personalized coaching and innovative website design.
