👋🏻 About

Lead UX Designer with a heart for community and visual skills to boot.

I help businesses bridge the gap between technological and human experiences. In my tenure of over a decade, I’ve had the opportunity to design for clients including Herbalife, Honda, and Southwest working with companies of various sizes and maturity levels. My professional track has been uniquely integrative, merging a strong devotion to craft, the arts, human psychology, education and personal growth.

💡Guiding Principals

Mastery of craft, collaboration, empathy. Research-driven and passionate about the details.

🍞 Hobbies

You can find me on long walks often somewhere with a view, painting sunsets, creating portraits, children’s stories, or baking bread.
