My Designer Statment

I've always been a curious creative with a fascination for human behavior.

There has never been a time where I wasn't creating something. I was most enchanted by why we do what we do and how I could contribute to making it better.

As I mature as a designer and strategic leader, I can confidently say that my purpose is to use my gifts to create solutions that help everyday people.

My Career Narrative

I started my career as an industrial designer and quickly gained experience across the spectrum of research, design, development, manufacturing, and B2B + B2C markets. After curating a portfolio of hard and soft goods as an industrial designer and product leader, it was time for a pivot.

I launched myself into UI/UX design by joining Finches, a founder led incubation house. I was the product lead on two major projects (Sparrows and Hmmngbrd) with the responsibility of taking an idea from concept to fully developed beta application.

In late 2022, I stepped away from Finches and have contributed to a variety of companies and industries to provide ID/UI/UX services, opportunity analysis and tangible results.

Looking back at my career to date, my superpower is my ability to take a wide net of abstract data and condense it down into tangible human-centered solutions.

About Me

Originally from Chicago, I am currently living in San Diego, CA. The joy of living in SoCal is yearlong outdoor adventures and ample opportunity to convince myself there's no sharks in the ocean. Whenever I can I love to travel near and far, prioritizing new experiences, cultures and perspectives.

Realistically, you're most likely to spot me in the wild at the ceramics studio. Nothing beats playing around with mud while chatting with people from a variety of backgrounds and generations.
