About Me

I am a seasoned User Experience Designer with over 10 years of experience crafting powerfully organic Native Mobile and Web experiences. I have an innate understanding of what makes an experience simple, intuitive, and engaging while maintaining a consistent and seamless experience for users across multiple platforms. In addition to my relentless search to design the ideal user experience, I love the challenge of finding elegant solutions to difficult and complex design problems.

What I bring to the table

• A detail-oriented and fact-driven approach to putting customer needs first when designing products.
• Strong presentation skills when seeking approval from leadership and stakeholders.
• I am always evangelizing Design Thinking principles and a customer-first design approach.
• I ask why (a lot), I always question assumptions, and I am constantly striving to improve my skills and my process.
• I am experienced managing small internal design teams and external design vendors, acting as a mentor for younger designers, and pushing my teams and colleagues to up their game, not just to meet our customers needs, but to exceed them.
