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 creating intricate drawings 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 field of K-12 education where I developed visual design programs and established digital learning experiences for 500+ students. This inspired a pivot into Product Design where I am delivering end to end design solutions for diverse businesses across the product landscape. When I’m not designing, I enjoy creating personal artwork, visiting niche markets, and exploring the Colorado mountains with my family.
