My work is driven by research, observation, and deep insight into human experiences
As a child, I held immense passion for visual design, spending hours drawing in my sketchbook. I went on to earn a BA in Visual Art and Design, a K-12 Art license, and an MA in Educational Psychology. I then led research and design for 15+ years within the K-12 edtech sector where I implemented student centered learning platforms. This inspired a career pivot into my current role as a Product Designer where I excel at all phases of design from UX research and discovery to brand design to visual refinement.
When I’m not designing, I enjoy creating artwork and exploring the Colorado mountains with my family.
