Hi there, I’m Liz.
I’m a
creative
problem-
solver who
loves
storytelling,
tropical plants,
dystopian movies, and waffles.
Having worked at start-ups, a financial newspaper, and a James Beard Award-winning fine dining restaurant, the common thread that ties my experiences together is a love for human connection. I combine empathy and respect with my analytical skills to design meaningful solutions for people’s problems. I love tackling challenging projects with a collaborative, hands-on approach.
My diverse experiences have taught me the power of code-switching and establishing a genuine understanding of others. I’m able to quickly and effectively work with people of different backgrounds and practices, and I firmly believe there’s always something to learn from the person in front of me.

“Aside from being a genuinely nice person with a great sense of humor, Liz communicates very effectively and collaborates well with everyone on the team. Her turnaround time on requests is remarkable, it felt like she was delivering before I even asked for something.
Liz has a keen eye for design and asks great questions about how people will interact with our proposals and keeping the end user always in mind. She is a fierce defender of standards and ensures we don't migrate without good reason. Our new app is world-class and that's due to much of the work and improvements Liz has made. I highly recommend her and hope to work with her again!”

“Having worked with her in a fast-paced and dynamic environment, what I remember most about working with Liz was her ability to execute tasks, deliver results, and conduct her work all in a professional and positive demeanor. She is a consummate professional and would be a highly valuable asset in any team, company, or organization.”
