Product designer & creative thinker in Atlanta.
I’ve spent the past decade building effective, well-crafted, beloved digital products.
My experience spans monetization, data privacy, accessibility, and internal tooling. I'm an ever-learning creative & your critical friend. I strive to "yes, and" my way through tough problems alongside engineers, researchers, and product management.
My UX practice is informed by my bachelor’s in Industrial Design, and I also am proud of the years I spent operating a mobile makerspace.
In the past, I designed a new & improved email editor at Mailchimp, implemented an overhaul to the core product at Mutiny, & built community features for Strava. I currently work as a consultant supporting a global vision care company.
Experience
The companies I work for are varied & diverse, and I like it that way! I’ve spent time working at nascent startups, a mobile social network, a SaaS darling, and a healthcare giant. I’ve developed personal design principles that guide my design process across diverse business sectors.
