As a research-informed experience designer, I am driven by the belief in design's transformative potential to enrich human lives. Guided by universal design principles, I strive to craft inclusive, user-friendly solutions that amplify accessibility and foster positive impacts.

I also have a pretty good gif and meme game...
Since 2009, I've been helping design solutions & experiences for different organizations, ranging from small startups to large enterprises across several industries.
This includes my time and experience learning, training, and applying design thinking methodologies and decision making processes for operational planning during the latter part of my time in service with the US military.
Product design, user experience, accessibility, design methodologies & activities, user research, thinking in systems, rapid prototyping and testing, mobile design (iOS, Android, some Fluent), plans and strategy.
I have diverse interests, but I'm particularly fascinated by the human mind—exploring psychological, cognitive, emotional, cultural, and social factors that influence decision-making. I enjoy delving into behavioral economics, game design, and service design, contemplating how they can address real-world challenges (*especially with the rise in AI 🤯). I'm drawn to problem spaces like Identity and Access Management (IAM), mental health/healthcare, and areas of social impact where I aim to make a difference.
I also love coffee and play.
