I’m using design to make life easier.

Good design helps people. Whether that person is a customer or a business stakeholder, well-designed products make life better. I create good design by advocating for business and user needs, solving hard problems, and encouraging collaboration.

I use my multidisciplinary background to inform each project.

I've used my skills in both product design and graphic design roles, and my development knowledge has helped me collaborate in cross-functional teams. In my varying roles, I also seek out knowledge from all my team members to learn more about product management, development, and product design.

I'm never done learning

Graduating from school doesn't mean the learning ends, so I'm always studying up on new UX practices, psychology, and keeping track of new design tools. Got any good design or psychology book recommendations? I'd love to know what everyone's reading!
