I'm founder of OpenStile, a fashion-tech service that offers a better way to shop local retailers. OpenStile helps women in the DC area discover neighborhood boutiques and schedule fun personal shopping sessions, all according to their unique style preferences.

After graduating from the University of Virginia with a degree in Computer Science, I worked as a software engineer and IT consultant. In my time at Red Hat, the world's leading provider of open source solutions, I was heavily involved in development and deployment components of a large-scale transportation communication project.

I also serve on the DC chapter of Open Source Fashion - a community of helpful innovators working within fashion, retail, and technology.

I live in the Hill East neighborhood of DC with my amazing husband, and enjoy traveling, music festivals, and exploring new restaurants.
