After all these years, you could say I’m pretty dedicated to Human-Centered Design. I believe great products are built on a foundation of solid research, well-defined design principles, and collaborative teamwork. I am a hands-on professional who helps organizations optimize their UX practices and shape their products through thoughtful, research-oriented design.

Outside of my work, I find balance and creativity through music and making things. I’m a guitarist and singer, and I also run a local music jam group that meets a few times a month. My hands are often busy building and crafting, whether it’s traditional native clay pottery, exploring the possibilities on a 3D printer, or learning all things AI. To keep my mind and body aligned, I practice yoga a few times a week.

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Visual Communication and in 2022, after three years of continuing education, I earned the Nielsen Norman Group’s Certified Master’s in User Experience certification.
