the about part

I'm a traveler, writer, and shameless adrenaline junkie with an addiction to oatmeal raisin cookies and a passion for helping people.  

As a user experience designer with 6+ years of experience, I have collaborated with teams in finance, education, conservation, and healthcare. I've worked in a wide range of environments: a design agency in Silicon Valley, scrappy start ups, and an in-house SaaS company with a one-woman team.

I design with a problem in mind. Beyond pretty pixels, good design serves a purpose and should alleviate real, felt pains in people's lives.
Design should make the world a better place, make people happy, and make good ideas even better. I seek to further the relationship between meaningful design and a higher quality of life.
