YOUR VALUES:

“Successful Stripes are rigorous thinkers who appreciate that things worth doing are rarely simple. We want people who are not afraid to be wrong, who can enthusiastically back proposals they initially opposed, and who know how to support decisions with numbers and narrative.”

“We also want specialists who are already experts and want to spend several years advancing the state of the art in their fields.

We know that we cannot be successful without nurturing the careers of both generalists and the experts. People who thrive in high-conflict work environments often do not enjoy the experience here. We try to embrace kindness while still encouraging Stripes to take measured risks and act boldly, even in the absence of consensus.”

HOW I ALIGN:

I’ve always been a strong believer in working collaboratively with others, bringing enthusiasm and humility to each project. Many of the most successful campaigns and creations in the world are never created by just one person—so I’m extremely open and excited to meet and work with the Stripe teams I’ll create great things with. I strive to show accountability by owning my mistakes and immediately applying the lessons they teach. Lastly, I thrive on being kind—even through differences. Everyone deserves kindness and respect, as it creates a safe space in the workplace.

I’ve developed strengths in integrating brands into the latest industry movements, ensuring relevance and innovation.

ALL IN ALL:

Stripe has played a huge role in creating new growth opportunities for businesses around the world to thrive. As a creative and part-time business owner myself, I’m highly supportive of organizations and resources dedicated to providing support and resources to businesses.

Also, during a stroll through Brooklyn, I saw your painted ad that shared your collaboration with DoorDash. Not only did I complement the talent of the painters bringing it to life, but it was nice to learn of this collaboration. :)
