A few tidbits about me - the devil's in the details 👀
Hey there 👋
I’m passionate about designing products that work so users don’t have to. Over the past 3.5 years, I've led and implemented projects for 64+ million users. Starting as the Founding Product Designer, then promoted to Lead Designer after 90 days in a 30-year-old org, I set up processes to stimulate growth and scale the UX team’s impact. I adapt to consistently achieve success, connect seemingly unrelated things to design effective solutions, and train new designers.
Outside of the office I co-founded a UX community, mentor designers, and stay in touch with the design community's conversations as a way to educate myself on improved strategies, methods, and updated information.
Outside of work you'll find me trying new things and experiences, traveling around the world, writing, reading, listening to podcasts (since before it became trendy;)), dabbling in guitar, and hanging out with friends and family.
