I love to understand the way things work.  I've always taken things apart just to discover how they are put together.  This is what makes me an intentional and thoughtful designer - I focus on the why.  I'm passionate about creating tools that improve people's lives and leave a lasting impact.

​

I began my career in architecture, designing commercial spaces mostly in the Chicago area.  I learned quickly how to balance working on many projects in different phases of the process. While I still love architectural design, I knew I had more strategic solutions to offer.

​

I pivoted into UX and knew this was how I wanted to make an impact. I earned my Master's degree in User Experience Design and started doing freelance work. I gained valuable knowledge and honed my skills (and had lots of fun!) with every project. Currently, I work on the Customer Experience team at Embrace Pet Insurance where I lead projects focused on retention.

​

Outside of work, I'm an outdoor enthusiast, looking for my next hike, feeling the breeze on my bike, or just soaking up some sun. I love to travel, always finding the best coffee shop in every new place I visit. I usually have at least one home renovation project going at any given time, which keeps my creativity brewing.

​

If you work with me, expect thoughtful questions, intentional design, and some fun along the way.
