Ever since I was a child I wanted to use my creativity to help people. While I didn't quite grow up to be a famous painter/detective like I once thought, I have found a way to focus that same empathetic and inventive drive as a UX Designer. I am passionate about discovering how and why people use products and furthering those experiences through creating thoughtfully crafted products that benefit both the user and the client.

With an ever-the-student philosophy, I have cultivated a diverse set of technical skills in my seven years of experience in Graphic Design and Marketing. Working for a wide range of clients has both enriched my practice as a designer and has given me experience working with and designing for all types of people. Determined and progress-focused, I strive to implement innovative design solutions by staying ahead of marketing and design trends, practicing effective communication, and loving every detail along the way.

When I'm not designing you can find me trying to get outdoors as much as possible, whether it's hiking with my husband and dog, camping, canoeing, or checking out a nice beer garden. I also enjoy a good board game, painting, photographing concerts, learning Japanese, and traveling as much as I can.
