I’ve secretly always been practicing UX throughout my life and now I do it professionally. With a background in digital media strategy, I’ve worked with and led a host of different teams and clients to find the best way to reach customers using the products they love. I now focus my energy into making the best possible experiences. In my off time, you can usually find me at the dog park with my dog or testing out new recipes.

I’ve been designing digital experiences across a variety of industries to bring the right people to the right environment.

I believe great product design comes from a focus on the right questions, not the right answers.
