CEO & Founder
Variate was established on a foundation of thoughtful, inclusive decision-making, guided by mutual respect and trust.
Growing up as a Quaker, I learned the importance of collective dialogue and valuing every perspective. I saw the opportunity to drive positive global impact by bringing this collaborative approach to design and innovation.
Grounded by the belief that the best way to show you care about someone is by helping solve their problems, I set out to build a team of people equally committed to understanding and overcoming challenges.
Over the past 15 years, our team has leveraged our extensive experience and diverse perspectives to help brands like Marriott, Carnival, Macy’s, Stanley Black & Decker, and Amerant Bank stand out through thoughtful design and strategic innovation.
