About my work

I’ve always preferred carving my own path. When high school wasn’t the right fit, I dropped out, worked for a year, earned my GED, and entered college ahead of schedule. That experience taught me an important lesson: if something’s not working, I pivot and find a better way forward.

After college, while working in communications, I started gravitating toward design, redesigning websites, refining branding, and fine-tuning marketing strategies. It quickly became clear that design wasn’t just a side gig, it was where my future lay. So, I shifted focus again, honed my skills, and landed my first freelance UX project, which kickstarted my career.

Today, as a Product Designer, that same adaptability drives me. I’m always looking for creative ways to solve problems, whether it’s running hallway tests, gathering feedback from internal teams, or finding unexpected solutions to move projects forward. I thrive on thinking outside the box and pushing boundaries, both in my career and the work I do.

Outside of work

I love hiking and traveling. The photo above was taken at White Sands National Park while on a road trip across the country. When I’m not on an adventure, I enjoy gardening, tackling home improvement projects, trying out new recipes, and reading sci-fi.
