MY STORY
I stopped trying to fix myself. I started designing myself instead.
I used to hear the same thing about myself, growing up on Chicago’s South Side. Too emotional. Too sensitive. Too much. Or somehow, not enough.
I built my identity around it. Something felt wrong with me, and for years I couldn’t name what.
I earned my B.A. in marketing communication from Columbia College Chicago and built a career in acting. Behind the bright lights, I was fighting quiet wars: depression, despair, grief, and the slow erosion of self-trust.
Then I started studying the subconscious mind. Emotions aren’t the problem. They’re information.
Here’s what I found. Something happens. You attach a meaning to it. The meaning attaches to a feeling. The feeling becomes a belief. The belief drives your actions. Your actions create what shows up in your life.
“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.” Proverbs 23:7. This became the blueprint.
I earned my M.S. in Instructional Design and Technology from Full Sail University in 2022 while rebuilding myself from the inside out. Design Psyche was born out of that rebuilding.
I don’t promise perfection. I promise a foundation. One you build once and continue to build on for the rest of your life.

THE METHOD
The PSYCHE Method™
Something happens. You attach a meaning. The meaning shapes what you feel, believe, and do. The method teaches people to notice that chain and choose a different next move. The full method is taught inside the work.
