WHAT I'M THINKIN'

I get excited about being at the heart of innovation, discovering and anticipating how the digital world can benefit and add to our current culture, instead of take something away. This sentiment motivates me to be intentional about my choices and to own the influence that my work as a designer can have on my users. I am fueled by considering our everyday digital moments against the more abstract, but essential aspects of our human experience – the relationships we have, our varying communication styles, and the way we use information along with our intuition to make decisions. All of these are key factors that I consider when creating a meaningful and successful product and brand. 

 

I’m inspired by opportunities that allow me to solve problems through a wide and collaborative lens while also making the minor interactions more significant, functional and joyful. In addition to my professional experience in design and user experience, I have a big passion for art and illustration. Communicating complex ideas through digestible imagery is something I have always found fulfilling. Thinking through concepts in this way has helped me successfully and creatively explain my ideas in many aspects of my design career and personal life.
