I’ve always had the desire to make a positive impact on people and design provides me with the opportunity to do so. I enjoy the challenges of creative problem solving and developing empathy for end-users. I thrive in team environments that promote radical candor, empathy, continuous learning, and mentorship.
I have spent the last few years working on complex CAD modeling tools and spent many years working on native mobile apps in the financial and HR spaces.

Interests
I love learning about new tools and technology that can make the design process more efficient to open up more time for creative thinking and ideation. I do my best to stay up to date with design trends and guideline updates through articles and design blogs. I have primarily focused on mobile design over the past few years, but still enjoy designing for desktop experiences. I am really excited about all of the new advancements and process improvements brought with AI tools such as Claude, Miro, Make, and more. I am very interested in learning about how AI can make our design process even more efficient so we can focus more on the end users.
In my free time, I run an art studio in my town where I design vinyl stickers, keychains, enamel pins and more.
Hobbies
I probably have too many hobbies at this point, but I love to learn new things and constantly crave sunshine. I have a husky named Remy that loves going on adventures with me and a big, fluffy cat that likes to run the house while Remy is out.
Now days, I spend most of my free time with my husband and baby girl, but here are some other things I love:
Game (mostly on my Switch and some table top/MTG)
Paint (oil & acrylic)
Illustrate (check out my Dribbble or my studio site
Quilt and knit
Travel
Hike & climb
Mountain bike
Snowboard
