As a UX Designer with a background in graphic design, I have strong visual design skills. All aspects of my career including web maintenance as well as graphic and email design have required problem solving and creativity that can be applied to UX/UI design. My ability to effectively identify and communicate solutions to design websites is beneficial to the UX and UI process.

From enhancing the navigation and reducing clicks to creating clean visual design assets to complement the brand, my goal is to improve the experience for the user while simultaneously ensuring the needs of the business are also met.

When I’m not designing, I enjoy cycling, hiking, and spending time outdoors.
