About

From startup to enterprises, no matter the project scale, I’ve been part of it all

I have not only working closely with cross-functional & executive teams, but also with their business partners to ensure design thinking was always at the forefront of projects and to help reinforce or promote these methods within their organizations. I have collaborated with large and small organizations to create products for users from all walks of life.

Throughout my

Career

I have created, led, and been a part of several design teams that collaborated on a variety of projects, which have differed vastly in scope & funding. These projects have included an internal office supply purchasing app and a multi-billion dollar global government contract that impacted millions of families over multiple years.

But I didn't do this alone

You can't achieve success by yourself. The successes I've had over my career have been because I was able to work with amazing teams who helped me not only grow as a designer and strategist, but also as a leader.

Travel

I grew up in a travel industry family, so we were constantly exploring the world from the moment I was able to get on a plane. Now I’m the planner of trips for all of my family and friends, keeping detailed maps and notes of destinations to share with any who may need them so they can enjoy getting to explore and understand new cultures that bring fresh perspectives to their lives while seeing the beauty this world has to offer.

Cooking

Everyone needs a relaxing hobby to decompress from the daily stresses of life, and for me that’s cooking. I was a chef for a short period of my life, and now the process of experimenting with various recipes or ingredients provides a playground where I can bring ideas to life, culminating in the joy I get to see on my family & friends’ faces when they take their first bites (or at least fake it until I turn around).

Game Development

For nearly my entire life I’ve been playing video games. They have always drawn me in more than movies or shows due to their interactive stories. As I got into tabletop gaming and eventually started my career path in UX, I began to have a desire to create my own storied adventure for others to enjoy. The journey has undoubtably given me a new found respect for the struggles of developers and how their side of the world is structured.

3D Modeling

Initially I got into 3D modeling in order to supplement my 3D printing hobby so I wasn’t reliant on others or marketplaces for my prints. That has expanded in recent months to assist in my other hobby, game development, as 3D modeling is an essential skill for creating lifelike stories and worlds. However, it’s a difficult skill to master, as you have to examine every aspect of a model, inside and out, for how it will flow or move at the most minute level.

3D Printing

The ability to create functional, useful objects has fascinated me since I was kid. I’ve always wanted to be able to understand not only how the item will solve a problem, but also how it’s constructed. I’m obsessed with every step of the process from designing a model, testing its feasibility, and having to adjust to any technical or physical limitations of the design.

Design, strategy, and leadership are not the only elements

About Me

though. My hobbies outside of work utilize the skills I've learned in my career and are also amplified by them with their unique natures of solving problems, telling stories, and understanding the world around me.
