About
From the foothills of TN.
At home everywhere.
Dedicated UX/UI professional with 9+ years of experience in creative, non-profit, and tech industries. Expert in collaborating with customers, users, and clients to develop innovative content and new products that are modern, collaborative, and intuitive. Keenly focused on marrying technological innovation with the human aspect of design.
My superpower is my eagerness to learn and my ability to translate the messy into the meaningful. I embrace ambiguous and challenging problem areas as opportunities to create and build momentum towards learning through experimentation.
I am an empath, and being a UX/UI designer allows me to lean into this trait even more—always having empathy for the end-user. Having human empathy in the product design makes a complex product a people product.
A few more fun facts
-
🎨 Design + tech
I love (x2914537) what I do, especially when I get to help make the world a better place. I want to make complicated things in life as simple and as enjoyable as possible through the pairing of design and technology.

🌮 Mexican food + tequila
I am a big fan of Mexican food. I could eat it for all three meals, seven days a week (honestly). Queso is life and there is nothing better than a fresh margarita with chips and salsa!

🏠 Home reno
In 2015 I purchased a 1950 ranch-style home on the east side, referred to by many as Fernwood. It was and still is a labor of love. I renovated the entire home—much of it on my own. While I can’t say I enjoyed every moment of the process, I can say I had more fun than I anticipated!

🇺🇬 Uganda
The red soil of Uganda is my favorite place in the entire world. People love people. Relationships are everything and avocados are HUGE! I would consider it my second home. You should go sometime; you won't be disappointed!
When I'm not working, you can generally find me:
🌍 Planning my next globe-trotting adventure
📚 Reading from my never-ending stack of books
👩💻 Researching my next home design project
🐶 Spending time with my Goldendoodle Nellie
💸 Hanging with my friends, probably also talking about traveling or playing Monodeal (if you haven’t played, do it!)
