As a UX designer, visual storyteller, and creative technologist, I bring a unique blend of ceramics, hospitality, and digital design expertise. With a Master’s in Information Communication & Technology and over 20 years of experience in fast-paced, people-centered environments, I specialize in crafting human-centered solutions that are both functional and emotionally resonant.
Drawing from a diverse and interdisciplinary background, my journey began with collaborating alongside master artists, award-winning chefs, and tech enthusiasts. This unique exposure blend has instilled in me a vision that's as much about aesthetic appeal as it is about functional brilliance. My formal education at the University of Denver, culminating in a master’s in information communication and technology and an intensive immersion in General Assembly's UX Bootcamp, has fortified my web design, development, and UX skills.
Incorporating my classically trained arts background with over a decade in the food service and restaurant management arena, I've developed a multi-faceted approach to design. I believe this symbiotic relationship of art, service, and human-centric design sets me apart.
Away from the design sphere, you'll often find me reveling in the great outdoors, whether skiing down snowy slopes, fly fishing in serene rivers, or simply throwing on my pottery wheel.
