Tastemakers Legal, PLLC focuses on ensuring visionary founders can own, protect and profit from their IP.  My goal is to make every client feel understood and supported, and that I'm part of their support team, moving them toward their business and revenue goals.

I spent over a decade at Facebook, Inc./Meta, starting my career on the global Intellectual Property Operations Team where I handled over 4000 cases. I established my boutique trademark law firm in 2014 to help small businesses register trademarks so they can own, protect and profit from their brands.  ​I've held multiple leadership positions in the Texas State Bar IP Section, and won numerous awards for her legal service and advocacy, including Austin Monthly's Top Attorney.
