As a User Experience and Systems Designer, I specialize in bridging creative vision with technical execution to create scalable, reliable digital experiences. My expertise spans from beautiful interface design to complex technical implementation—I believe the most impactful design happens when aesthetic sophistication meets systematic thinking.

I bring a unique combination of creative and technical skills: designing intuitive user experiences, building component-based design systems, and implementing complex CMS architectures that perform flawlessly under pressure. Whether transforming wireframes into responsive web experiences or architecting large-scale digital asset management systems, I approach every challenge with meticulous attention to both visual excellence and technical reliability.

My systematic approach to design has supported high-stakes projects across health and wellness startups and entertainment brands including Sony, Nintendo, Mozilla Firefox, Marvel, DC, and Wizards of the Coast. I thrive on projects that require both creative problem-solving and technical precision—from rapid homepage rebuilds during major campaigns to comprehensive platform migrations that streamline entire workflows.

I am trained in UX Design, Visual Design, Systems Implementation, Photography, and Motion Graphics. I completed certifications in Video Production, Adobe After Effects Motion Graphics, and InDesign from Boulder Digital Arts and Typography from UC Berkeley's extension program. I hold a BA in Art History from The Colorado College, a certificate in Printmaking from The Glasgow School of Art and a User Experience Certification from Springboard.

When I'm not being professionally creative, I can be found painting landscapes and birds—something I think of as 'recreationally creative.' I also enjoy spending time in nature and with my cat, though notably not with my cat in nature.
