about me.

I'm a UX designer and researcher who's spent the last decade creating human-centered experiences. My background blends theatre training (which I credit for my storytelling and communication skills) with 10+ years in user research and business strategy. I approach problems with both analytical thinking and intuition, which enables me to see the big picture from a systems level while also making decisions with empathy and understanding. What I love most about design is the human side of it: connecting real-life human behaviors and emotions to how we interact with digital products or navigate physical spaces.

now.

I want to apply design thinking to create sustainable systems that benefit both people and the planet. My goal is to protect the wild spaces I love by solving complex challenges in the circular economy through thoughtful, human-centred design.

I'm seeking roles in sustainable process design, service design for climate impact, or circular economy innovation where I can leverage design thinking to drive meaningful environmental change.

the personal stuff.

I'm a Minnesota native who followed her dream to live in Australia in 2016 and loved it so much I became an official Aussie. While exploring Western Australia in 2024, I met a German solo traveler. After hiking and camping our way down the coast together, we decided to have more adventures together. Now I'm starting a new chapter in Kiel, Germany.

Beyond design work, you'll find me in nature whenever possible, following the NFL wherever I am in the world, singing Taylor Swift in my car, and following my wanderlust to new places.
