Me in a tweet…

For over a decade I’ve successfully designed memorable products and experiences. I’ve evolved into an end-to-end product designer who is focused on solving problems. Building off my early years as an art director, I bring exceptional brand, strategy, and storytelling to my craft.

Let’s connect!

My Differentiators

I’m a renovator…

I can see the potential in any challenge and will dive into the whole process of bringing it to life. I care about creating and refining elegant, intuitive digital products (including iOS, Android, web, and more) that solve client problems and deliver engaging experiences to users.

I’m short…

And what happens when you’re short? You know the benefits of finding tall friends. No one can do it all. Building a collaborative team that has a wide range of expertise, and understands the benefits of working together for the whole process, is essential.

I’m a Mama…

My Mama Bear love wants everyone, no matter their background, disability, or identity to be picked for the team of life. I believe good design is accessible to all users, and is built to serve all users. No one should be excluded.

 

I’m a Drum Major…

What you learn from directing (Yes, I’m a band nerd and I was a Drum Major in High School) a 100 person band to move in unison is the importance of every individual. So I know only when every tiny design element has been cared for, and thought through, can you create a beautifully crafted product.

I’m a saleswoman…

I started my career writing scripts and acting them out to sell them to clients. After the embarrassment turned into an exceptional storytelling skill, I can confidently communicate and present anything. This also comes in handy when crafting decks, leading workshops and pitching work.

I’m flexible…

I can touch my toes, but I also thrive in an agile environment where I get to work collaboratively with all stakeholders. No process is perfect in a field that changes often, so I’m an advocate for always looking for better ways of working. It’s important to understand the benefit of pivoting when something isn’t working.

    “Every year there is at least one attraction that seems to stop people in their tracks. This year, it was the La Tortilla Bendita Selfie. Yep, you guessed it: selfie images portrayed on tortillas,” wrote Forbes contributor Jean Case.

  • Lefty forced to be a righty

    I write and eat with my left hand, but I do most everything else with my right hand. No one wants to teach you left handed guitar so you learn how to play right handed.
