The Basics

Hello there! I'm a UX-focused Product Designer based in beautiful Richmond, VA, with an unquenchable thirst for creating user-centric designs. As someone who aspires to be a leader in the product design community, I'm always looking for ways to challenge the status quo and set new benchmarks.

Life Beyond Design

When I'm not sketching out wireframes or conducting user interviews, you're likely to find me diving into video games, chatting about the latest sneaker drops, or passionately discussing American football strategies. I'm also a pet parent to two amazing huskies and a cat—they are my stress-relievers and muses rolled into one.

Childhood Dreams

Once upon a time, I dreamt of becoming a professional bowler like Norm Duke. Although that didn't pan out, the focus, precision, and competitive spirit of bowling have translated seamlessly into my design career.

Not Just Another Designer

What sets me apart? My diversified background in economics and sales. This blend equips me with the unique ability to not only ideate and implement design solutions but also articulate their financial and strategic impact. This makes me a designer who can speak the language of boardrooms as fluently as that of design studios.

My Philosophy

I care—about technology and its users. Before entering the design world, I was in sales, advocating for technology adoption. My forte was not merely selling a product but making it indispensable to the user. This perspective informs my design philosophy; I aim to create interfaces so intuitive and delightful that users wonder how they ever lived without them.

My Technical Chops

My experience has groomed me to collaborate seamlessly with developers, having worked in both Waterfall and Agile environments. I appreciate the quirks of each methodology and know how to navigate them to deliver impeccable designs. If you're a methodology nerd like me and want to dive deeper, let's connect—I promise it won't be boring!

Why Work With Me?

The bottom line is simple: If you're in search of a designer who pours their heart into ensuring user-centricity, while having a keen eye on business and strategic impacts, look no further. I'd be thrilled to discuss how I can contribute to your team and make users' lives a tad bit easier and much more enjoyable.
