Reigning from the City of Lakes, Minneapolis, Minnesota, I'm a senior product designer, technologist, developer, artist, and cat mama. (And so much more!) You can catch me listening to copious amounts of NPR, messing with retro tech, cross stitching, exploring the city, 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 art, totes, or pins; or taking photographs on film and digitally — my life goal is to create with feeling.
From 9-to-5 I take ideas and turn them into products through data-driven decision making, collaborative ideation, prototyping, testing, and finally development. I have been working with design, development, and technology hand-in-hand for over 10 years. The way humans interact with their devices and how we can use hardware, software, and services to make people more productive has always fascinated me. As such, it has become my focus to create a delightful, efficient, and intuitive user experience in the products I design.
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 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.
