A little about me

I believe that life outside of work is just as important as what happens in the office—every experience shapes the way I see the world and approach design. Here’s a little about both.

You’ll find me in a river or on a trail, typically with a camera in hand, hunting for insects and pretending I want to photograph something so I can take a break. I like bumbling around in nature and focusing on the little things and their connection to what’s around them.

I have hopes and dreams of one day making the perfect mac and cheese, becoming friends with all dogs on planet earth, and finding out that animals can in fact speak to humans.

Some of these are more attainable than others.

My passion for animals and the outdoors is what originally drew me to my degree in Environmental Science. My empathy, creativity and passion for making life easier is what lead me down the path of UX design. I was hooked from the moment I started my graduate degree.

My dream is probably similar to others - merge my passions and skills into one venture and make an impact in a space that matters. I find energy and fulfillment in working with creative thinkers, no matter how their creativity takes shape. It fuels me.

Life may have taken me down an unusual and long path to get here, but as the great, real life wizard Gandalf once said…

“A wizard is never late, Frodo Baggins, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.”

And here I am.
