UX Research and Design

From graphic design to UX research I've had many roles in design. My diverse experience has instilled in me a crucial insight: no matter what your role, truly impactful design is rooted in a deep understanding of the user.

Creating delight through research and design

I have a passion for learning about consumers and designing rewarding experiences. I love being a user experience researcher and designer because I’m able to feed that passion daily. I’m excited when I can help better meet user’s expectations, increase satisfaction with the products they use, and make their life easier.

As an enthusiastic team builder, I love mentoring team members and driving cross-functional collaboration targeted at bringing compelling narratives to life from research insights. My goal is to deliver delight in design, exceed user expectations, and deliver business impact.
