Research, Facilitation & Ideation
I’ve facilitated several Human-Centered Design activities with both designers, partners and stakeholders alike. I conduct UX research efforts from test planning to results and recommendations using both Quantitative and Qualitative research techniques
Visual & Interaction UI Design
As a pixel perfect perfectionist and a typography nerd, I thrive creating delightful and innovative interfaces with a foundation in Design Thinking. I am also a self taught motion designer.
Illustration
From good ol’ pen and paper to the super fancy iPad Pro, I design icons, hand-lettered graphics and other visual elements to complement any interface. I also illustrate storyboards for new product concepts and user research.
A (nearly) full stack UX Designer
I work from soup to nuts. I started out as a highly visual designer and transitioned into other segments of UX such as research, facilitating ideation workshops, service design and developer handoff/support.
