Designer & Strategist.

Wearer of many UX hats. Aerialist on the weekends. Ecosystem problem solver. Resident AI/ML UX knower-of-things. Always hungry.

I’m a multi-disciplinary designer with experience in-house and as a consultant in a wide range of industries, including banking and fintech, insurance, HR/CRM, manufacturing, health tech, cloud computing, and most recently AI + ML Ops.

While my heart will always be happiest when I’m working with words, I’ve worn the hats of information architect, UX writer, content strategist, UX researcher, UX designer, product designer, visual designer, animator, interaction designer, accessibility advocate, innovation lead, UX strategist, and all-around problem solver.

I’ve been fortunate to work as an omni-channel designer, but I especially love working on native mobile apps and mobile experiences.

Aside from being a full-time product designer at DigitalOcean, I also run the aerial arts program at a local climbing gym, where I design and implement curriculum, coordinate with gym leadership, and run several types of classes.

My free time usually entails walks on the beach with my partner and our dogs, reading voraciously, and more recently, panicking over paint colors in our first home.

I love to talk and I’d love to talk. Feel free to get in touch.
