About Me
A passionate User Experience Engineer with a knack for crafting delightful digital experiences
With a strong background in experience design and leadership, I thrive on the challenge of transforming ideas into user-centric solutions that make a tangible impact.
My journey in UX design has taken me across the globe, where I've collaborated with diverse teams to tackle complex challenges. Whether leading workshops with scrum teams or integrating design seamlessly with engineering on the Mac platform, I've honed my skills in communication, problem-solving, and empathy-driven design.
Beyond the confines of the office, you'll often find me chasing adventure in the great outdoors. From tandem skydiving to kayaking amidst humpback whales in Alaska, I believe in embracing life's exhilarating moments and drawing inspiration from the world around us.
So, whether you're seeking a creative collaborator for your next project or simply want to swap stories about bear encounters in the wild, I'm always up for a chat. Let's connect and embark on a journey to create meaningful experiences together.

Early Years
Production
My journey into the world of design began in the fast-paced realm of broadcast and production, where I wore many hats – from being a Production Assistant and Grip to contributing to set design and post-production magic.
During those exhilarating early days, I found myself amidst the buzz of iconic events like MTV, American Idol, and The Sundance Film Festival. Each gig brought its own set of challenges and thrills, shaping my knack for problem-solving and thinking on my feet.
Between the hustle of production gigs, I dabbled in the digital realm, diving into contract work in web design. It was here that I discovered my passion for creating seamless and intuitive experiences in the virtual world – a passion that has only grown stronger over the years.
