Creativity, curiosity, and design have always played a pivotal role in my life. In many ways, it is how I engage with the world around me. Whether it be hosting friends and family or creating small moments of delight for coworkers, a passion for creating thoughtful experiences is fundamental to who I am as a person as well as in my design role.

As an advocate for the end user, I believe human-centered design is achievable when everyone has a seat at the table. Collaborating with clients and connecting with users is where the work (and fun) truly happens. It’s in those moments where we find a collective “a-ha moment” that we begin to see the product come to life.

I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Industrial Design from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. With over a decade of experience in design, I have been very fortunate to have had roles ranging from Technical Designer to Graphic Designer to Product Designer in both the print and digital space.

Outside of work, I enjoy traveling and being active with my partner and our dog. My friends are my lifeline and at any given time you can find me deep in the pages of a book.
