Life long storyteller turned UX Designer
Through everything I do, I'm constantly trying to grow as a designer and overall human being.

I’m a curious designer specializing in product strategy, user research, and storytelling. I believe the secret to good design is an impactful and measurable story, centered around our users and the challenges we help them overcome.

For the past 3 years, I’ve combined my design and business education (University of Michigan) with professional experiences (Indeed, Microsoft, The Support Network) to create new digital products and enhance existing ones.

It is my goal to ensure all voices are being heard, create genuinely impactful experiences both on and offline, and make people laugh from time to time.
