About
A little insight into what makes me, well, ME!
Even before I knew what design was, I was drawn to it. I was always in art classes—coloring, sketching, and exploring creativity in every form. That love of visual expression stayed with me, but it was a science video in 8th grade that truly shifted my perspective. In it, an anthropologist studied skeletal remains and could tell someone’s age, status, even how they lived. I was hooked. The ability to interpret stories from subtle details sparked a lifelong fascination with people—and ultimately shaped how I approach design.
When I discovered user experience design, it felt like everything clicked. I found a field where I could merge creativity with curiosity—crafting products that are not only beautiful, but thoughtful, usable, and human.
My background in front-end development, motion graphics, video editing, and graphic design gives me a wide-angle lens when approaching digital experiences, and helps me collaborate effectively across disciplines.
Whether I’m working on enterprise software, internal tools, or public-facing platforms, my mission is always the same: to make people’s lives easier, smoother, and more delightful—one interaction at a time.
Outside of work, I share life with my awesome partner, my wonderful daughter, and our beloved puppers. We love hunting for treasures at antique stores, catching a good movie, spinning records or discovering new music, heading to concerts, and exploring new places together whenever we can.
When I carve out solo time, you’ll often find me drawing, painting, or attempting to play music. I’m an avid reader—especially science fiction, fantasy, and anything to do with space or ancient history. Whether it’s creating or learning, I’m happiest when I’m feeding my curiosity.
