I started Part Heart, Part Smart on 11/11/11, with a seed of understanding: we were losing touch with the “heart” and intuition part of our decision-making in business, brand, and life.

And I’ve watched that knowing deepen.
The more automation, efficiency, and data-driven “answers” we’ve built, the more we’ve lost touch with the source of it all. We’ve traded big visions for Big Data, and outsourced our creative expression to AI. We’ve forgotten the soul of why we started - whether as marketers, founders, leaders, or change-makers.

PHPS was meant to be a container for weaving those threads of heart, soul, intuition, and meaning back into our work and lives, though I wasn’t entirely sure what it wanted to be. And honestly, it continues to evolve, right alongside me.

Since launching PHPS in 2011, my career has shifted from in-house brand executive to brand strategy consultant (currently as VP of Strategy at Triggers), while PHPS has become home for my work as a coach, creative guide, and community builder.

My professional path has led me to some of the world’s most recognizable brands and complex challenges. It sharpened my intellect, deepened my strategic gifts, and taught me how to lead with clarity and care.
But my personal path moved in a different direction: inward. Toward intuition. Toward presence.
Toward deeper connection with self, others, and the unseen.

It’s the marriage of those two paths, intuition and intellect (aka the heart and the smart), that continues to shapes the core of my work across disciplines today.

And what I’m most proud of now is how I help myself and others slow down, tune in, and create something beautiful, true, and lasting, from the inside out.

I’m a space-holder, a singer-songwriter, and a creative guide. I lead Beauty of Presence - a growing body of offerings: dinner series, song circles, and soul-rooted mentorships, where presence becomes a practice and a pathway to transmute our life experiences into breathtaking moments of meaning.

I’m also a mother to two beautiful, wild-hearted children. A certified yoga instructor, a lifelong intuitive, a tarot reader, and a deep believer in community care and creative expression.
I’m unapologetically liberal, feminist, anti-racist, and an ally to BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities.

My personal mission is helping good people build a life of meaning, with presence, beauty, and power.

I hope you’ll be one of them.
