About Me

When people ask about my background, I always tell them I’m a recovering Graphic Designer who put down a bottle of photoshop and picked up a case of Figma. Ok, let me be serious for a sec.
 
As a seasoned designer with over a decade of experience,  I have honed various skills, such as graphic design, marketing, sales, motion graphics, photography, videography, video editing, public speaking, and small business management. My background has allowed me to approach UX design with a unique perspective. My passion for creating user-centered design experiences has driven me to excel as an individual contributor and a UX design leader. 
 
As a UX design leader, I am committed to supporting and empowering the designers and teams I work with to achieve success in their projects and create experiences that users will love. My knowledge, experience, and passion for design allow me to guide others toward building products and experiences designers can be proud of. Ultimately, it is the success of others that drives me to continuously improve and excel in my role as a leader in UX design.
 
My ultimate goal is to empower those around me to succeed and create work they can be proud of while ensuring that the end user is at the forefront of every design decision.

Leadership Principles

People First

I welcome differences and seek out individuals with various backgrounds, skill sets, and points of view. Great ideas can come from anywhere, so I create environments where people feel safe participating and being themselves. I work hard to earn and keep the trust of my peers, stakeholders, customers, and users.

Curious

Yes, we all say it, but it’s true. Always be learning! I’m always looking for ways to better myself and those around me. Getting out of my comfort zone and trying new things keeps me inspired.

Action Oriented

Many decisions are reversible and can be made quickly without having all the details. Good is better than great, and perfect doesn’t exist. I take calculated risks based on a deep understanding of the user, product, and business objectives and strategies. If you make a mistake, own it, move forward, and learn from it.

Confident Humility

As a leader, I have no ego. I know what I don’t know, and I lean on my team to help me strengthen areas where I’m weakest. I also use data, my experience, expertise, and good instincts to make quick decisions and get things done.
