I thrive at the nexus of learning, technology, and visual design.

About

Who I am. I am a learning experience designer with a background in visual art, tech, and learning. My fine arts degree showed me the power of process, and it has made me more intentional about how I approach solving problems. Working in tech helped me hone my tech skills and develop a deep appreciation for how technology can help people learn, grow, and connect. And, finally, when I was a visual arts educator, it showed me how passionate I am about using all of the tools at my disposal to help other people reach their full potential.

My process & approach to solving problems. I always put people at the center of my process. To design solutions that are elegant and effective, I do my best to identify what people are struggling with and what I can do to help ease that pain. Once I’ve identified that solution, I use an iterative design approach that incorporates user testing and data analysis. This results in a user-focused product that responds adaptively as needs change.

How I work with people. Collaboration is a cornerstone of my work. I thrive on building authentic relationships with peers, SMEs, and stakeholders to ensure that our solutions serve audiences across the business and that we all can enjoy and learn from the process of working together. I aim to support and build up the teams that I join, and I love to feel supported by others.

What we can accomplish. I am all about growth and results. If you or your organization would like to leverage modern learning experiences that help people reach their full potential, I am confident that we can design compelling solutions.

Anything, everything, and more. I am always up for a new challenge (heights not included), whether it’s signing up for a 117-mile race or taking on a raging river. I enjoy being competitive, mostly with myself (no, really, even in spin class, hiking, or out on a run). Practice, patience, and perseverance are common themes in my interests when it comes to taking care of my plants, mastering the pottery wheel, and tinkering with code. I love learning about anything that involves a process - ask me about salt prints or cyanotypes. I enjoy immersing myself in new experiences, whether traveling to a new place, trying new food, or making connections.

Here are a few of those things and experiences through images.

Let’s get back to business.
