about
I have a unique ability to link design and business outcomes, build excitement for UX, and find clarity in ambiguity. I’m a systems thinker and large-group facilitator. I focus on accessibility, diversity, equity, and inclusion in my work. I hold 6 digital accessibility certifications from Deque University.
my design story
➡️ Summer 2015
Get some money to test a business idea. The idea fails, but I’m surprised by how much I loved making the website.
➡️ December 2016
Graduate early with a bachelor’s degree in business. I like the idea of building things but I’m not sure exactly what I want to do yet. Decide to try marketing since I love writing and get to use my graphic design skills.
➡️ January 2017
Collaborate with an engineer at my company on the design of our app, learn what UX is and immediately become obsessed. Start a freelance design business, learn HTML, CSS and a little Javascript. Start workingwith a product design mentor to build out my UX portfolio & skillset. Continue freelance work.
➡️ October 2018
Begin my first full-time product design role. Start volunteering as a mentor to help others make the same career switch I did.
