Let’s work together!

I’m an Interaction Designer with Visual Design and UX Writing sprinkled on top. Strictly functional or wildly expressive, I love working on user-driven projects. I’m always eager to learn from others and deepen my craft by tackling new challenges in design.

Collaboration and honest communication are important to me. I get to know my team mates as individuals so I can do my best to set them up for success, and work compatibly and amicably.

My design practice reflects my interdisciplinary training in graphic design, brand, teaching, and user-focused interfaces. This informs my approach: I believe major touchpoints should reflect a brands identity in fun, expressive ways, while still playing within the constraints of user research and usability standards. I bring in my clients and team throughout my process to get buy in and feedback, but also so they can support major design decisions in their own work. This builds holistic experiences users enjoy and remember.

The same goes for writing. I infuse my work with a unique voice and tone in order to add a touch of humanity to interfaces that otherwise may feel rote or unmemorable.
