My work is driven by research, observation, and deep insight into human experiences
As a child, I held immense passion for visual design, spending hours drawing in my sketchbook. I went on to earn a BA in Visual Art and Design, a K-12 Art license, and an MA in Educational Psychology. I then led research and design for 15+ years within the K-12 edtech sector where I designed and implemented o-1 accessible digital learning platforms. My passion for design inspired a career pivot into Product Design where I have found massive success leading human centered and research driven design primarily within the non profit and educational technology sectors. When I’m not designing, I enjoy creating fine art, exploring niche markets, and hiking in the Colorado mountains with my family.
