Reigning from the City of Lakes, Minneapolis, Minnesota, I'm a technologist and engineer, as well as an artist, 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’m a results-driven IT systems administrator and systems engineer. 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. 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 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.
