VLNRABLE is a mobile application that allows users to anonymously share aspects of their story with other users in a safe place free from criticism & judgement. As the concept creator and strategist I recruited Paris Pinkney & Angie Von Slaughter to lead development, user interface & design. My primary roles are developing the concept, creating a functional strategy for the brand, and taking the app to market [summer of 2015]. Implemented the UI / UX strategy & direction for the app to provide an inviting experience for the user. http://VLNRABLEapp.com

Visionary & UI / UX Specialist

My father was a blue collar entrepreneur, a "rental man" and small engine mechanic. He made me start working for him at 14, where I learned all aspects of the day to day operations of Maryvale Equipment Rental. I'm not much of a mechanic, so my father allowed me to put my energy and attention on the customer service aspect of his business. I created a new "script" for answering the phone, and increased the focus on customer interaction and positive service from all aspects of the business. These experiences carried me into the hospitality and retail industries, where I quickly excelled. Throughout my time in hospitality I worked for Applebee's, Pita Jungle, Cartel Coffee, Dan McGuinness, & Kung Fu Saloon. I have also been hired as a consultant to create customer service standards, beverage menus, and marketing plans for coffee shops, restaurants, & pubs.

Master of Hospitality 

Solution oriented advocate who has developed multiple events, apps/resources, and tools to assist people on their journey through mental health, self love, and authenticity. In 2004 I founded For Love, which was the parent organization to create curriculum and facilitate programs for high risk students, parents, and faculty, which birthed our first event, "Skate 4 Love", which was held in 2006. Skate 4 Love was a high energy skate event that brought out skateboarding professionals who were able to speak about their struggles with depression. 2012 I created the VLNRABLE APP which was an anonymous social media style app that allowed users to share part of their story without the fear of being harassed, targeted, or bullied. It was, in my opinion, the safest place on the App Store! 2020 I created 52 Card Pick Me Up & the Pick Me Up Journal which is a deck of cards and corresponding journal that work together to open the space for personal insight. This tool has been implemented by multiple school districts, companies, and the Mesa Arts Center as a primary facilitation tool.
