About
I’m a designer, UX leader, and design system enthusiast
I’ve held titles from art director to UX designer to information architect to design manager. But those different labels ultimately mean the same thing: I specialize in creating a product that solves the needs of a user and supports the business goals, all while having an interface that is delightful and easy to use. I also enjoy creating design systems and mentoring teams to have a shared language between design and development.
I began my career as a magazine designer and editor, but my interest in technology quickly drew me to interactive design. I love how UX design combines all my skills in art, coding, analytics, writing, and psychology to create a great experience.
Technology and trends are constantly changing, so keeping up with the industry keeps me going. My strong background in design fundamentals, content strategy, and business methodologies gives me a solid foundation to build on while I continue to learn new things.
