What does Rhuby mean?

Rhuby is a nickname for the vegetable rhubarb—a tart, snappy stalk that you can’t get just any place or any time. Like your work, rhubarb has something very specific to “say” but it may need a little work before it’s ready for consumption. For example, you have to trim the greens off the top when you prepare rhubarb. They contain poisonous agents!

Rhuby is my brand identity because it reflects the themes I like to work with most: wellness, health, science, learning, growth, change. Projects that help people connect and come away with new understandings, energized for action.
