About Patti

I launched PLD agency in 2008, right along with the start of a recession, and it taught me invaluable lessons to be creative, resilient and adaptable. I'm incessantly driven by my internal question, "how can I make this better?" This motivates me to lean in, solve problems and dissolve obstacles.

I hold a MBA, a bachelors in graphic design and a patent for a UI/UX design. This gives me the perspective to truly understand the business objectives companies face, and knowing I have the creative chops to roll up my sleeves and build the right tools, I deliver results. I'm good at what I do and am very resourceful.

My two children are grown, my nest is empty and it's too early to retire. This enables Mike and me to focus on the types of work that really light us up while ensuring we make time to play together in the mountains and on the water. I fuel my creativity with espresso and 72% chocolate.

Emerging from the pandemic, my revelations have become my practice:

Family first, as there is no substitute for their love and care.
When I take care of myself, my creativity is vibrant and abundant.
Live everyday with adventure! We live the sunny side of the year on a boat in Napa Valley where I like to waterski before my morning video meetings. (Ignore my wet hair.)
