About Me

I am an accomplished UX Design Lead with over 15 years of digital design experience, based in Seattle, WA.

My drive for design excellence comes from my innate empathy and love of making things. This led me to a career in UX design, where I found my passion for humanity-centered design.

In my years as a UX Design expert, I’ve leaned-in to develop leadership skills that drive product success.
