Reigning from the City of Lakes, Minneapolis, Minnesota, I'm an artist and technologist, as well as a zinester, designer, software developer, cat mama, and so much more! My home is at the intersection of art, design, and technology—it's a delightful and inspiring place to be! You can catch me messing with retro tech, exploring nearby cities, consuming the best baked goods to satisfy my never-ending sweet tooth, and looking for trinkets in antique stores.
One of my biggest passions is making things that evoke emotion and that allow people to express themselves. Whether it’s telling stories through zines; making works of art; designing fun things; or taking photographs on film and digitally—my life goal is to create with feeling.
From 9-to-5 I’m a results-driven CompTIA-certified IT leader. The way people interact with their devices and how we can use hardware, software, and services to help people be more productive (and reach their dreams!) has always fascinated me. Leveraging my background in user experience research and product design, I’m focused on bringing a powerful and unique take to system design, management of complex systems, and end-user education.
I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Service Design from Savannah College of Art and Design, where I spent time concentrating on digital services and infrastructure. My experience includes work with managed service providers and in industries such as e-commerce, insurance brokerage, and educational technology. I have also been an instructor of MERN stack web application development and UX/UI design boot camps for Georgia Tech.
