learn more about me
my experience
what I bring to you
Since beginning my UX design career in 2013, I’ve collaborated with multi-cultural teams across Australia, India, China, Thailand, Brazil, and the UK. My expertise spans all aspects of human-centred design, with a particular focus on user research and business strategy. What sets me apart is my unique background in both theatre and design —
a combination that encourages creative thinking, sharp problem-solving skills, along with verbal and non-verbal communication. I thrive on connecting with people and creating open, trusting environments that facilitate collaboration with teammates, stakeholders, and users alike.
my values
how I live & work
my passions
things I care about.
EMPATHETIC & CURIOUS.
I embrace intuition and approach challenges with empathy and curiosity. This perspective allows me to see the world with a sense of wonder and connect meaningfully with the people I work with.
INTENTIONAL.
I approach design — and life — with purpose and thoughtfulness. Every decision I make is guided by a careful consideration of the information at hand and a commitment to aligning with my values.
AUTHENTIC.
I bring my whole self to everything I do: the quirks, the imperfections, and the unique experiences that shaped me. These qualities inform how I engage with others, solve problems, and show up in the world.
I spend time in nature every chance I get: walking, hiking, or sitting by the ocean for hours. I care about sustainability and strive to make mindful choices as a consumer and human existing on this planet. I’m a passionate NFL (American football) fan, a Swiftie, and love to organize the house for fun. I’m an avid traveler and explorer, capturing it all through the lens of my iPhone and a sense of wonder everywhere I go.
from my early days as a
child artist
drawing picture books at my little white table in our retro style dining room, expressing my creativity was my favorite activity. Over the years, I found outlets for my creativity onstage, performing in and directing theatrical productions. After college I discovered a love for digital design, so I purchased my first Mac and taught myself how to use Indesign and lllustrator. My love for design introduced me to the field of user experience in 2013, when I completed a UX apprenticeship program that gave me a solid foundation for my career.
A Minnesota native, I followed my dream to live in Australia in 2016. I’m now a dual citizen and consider myself more Aussie than American. While solo traveling around Western Australia in 2024, I met another solo traveler from Germany. He and I decided to have more adventures together, and I’ve now relocated to Kiel, Germany.
