About Me

Hello! I'm a seasoned UX/product designer who creates engaging and intuitive solutions for brands both big and small, from Fortune 20 enterprises to local businesses. I work beyond the screens to understand how people, process, and purpose come together to meet strategic and scalable goals. With a background in psychology and design, I advocate for human-centered design and build partnerships grounded in empathy and understanding while meeting business objectives on time and within budget.

In my personal life, you can find me stoking my curiosity by keeping my nose in a book, perfecting a recipe, making art, volunteering in my community, and learning new things like aerial yoga and woodworking!

Take a gander at my resume and feel free to reach out! Let's build something together!

"Good design, when it's done well, becomes invisible. It's only when it's done poorly that we notice it."

- Jared Spool
