CURRENT MISSION

Be Creative

ABOUT ME

Life is so short to work for something that we do not love. I desire to see the world and experience life, walk in the shoes of others and to be free to love and learn.

I have traveled to 43 different countries in the last few years. I lived in Taiwan and China for two years as a student.
Then after college I moved to Afghanistan where I helped run an Agriculture Training center, where we did research and training.

I am the owner of Illuminate Collective rugs.

We have an amazing team of weavers and seek to empower and be an agent for change.

PHILOSOPHY

Live to love.
Love to Live.
In perfect love there is no fear.
