I’m a UX Designer with a background advocating for clients' success, but you already know that. So instead, here are a few of my favorite things…

  • Traveling with friends

  • Sunshine!

  • Hiking, biking, boxing… really any fun fitness class

  • Good food, and trying lots of it

  • The beach

  • Quality time with family

Why UX Design?

I have always thought of myself as creative, but creativity is hard to pin down when you don’t draw, act, dance, or do one of the other expected creative outlets. And when deciding what to study at eighteen, it is hard to choose “creative”. So I didn’t.

Instead, I started my career working to help people through client success and support roles. I not only solved companies’ and peoples’ problems, but I figured out what was causing them and how to help avoid them in the future. I made them feel like people and not just clients. I listened. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the resources to solve every problem, and after listening for long enough, I grew tired of providing band-aid solutions. I had found my creative outlet, though – I am a creative problem solver, looking to help people with their everyday struggles.

I became a UX Designer to become a catalyst — the voice of the user should always be heard, regardless of how quiet it sometimes is, to guide innovation. The success of the user drives the success of the company. I know that there will always be more problems and things are rarely perfect, which can be hard to accept as a slight perfectionist, but by listening to what is wrong I can make something better (even by just a little).
