Interaction & Visual Designer

​​​​With over 10 years experience in freelance digital design, a background in art, education, and military service, I approach UX design with creativity and discipline. My skills and schooling enable me to excel at creating beautiful experiences. ​

In addition to my visual design skills I am familiar with HTML/CSS and am a skilled, creative communicator which enables me to work effectively with engineers and stakeholders. I also have a passion for UX research and conducting usability testing.

Monthly, I host a UX meetup which connects professional and promotes a culture of kindness through hands-on brainstorming activities.
Create joy and engage with people authentically.
