an eye on the audience
While designing, I rely on my research on both stakeholders & users to constantly ask questions through the eyes of the audience to ensure the designs meet their needs.
The artistic eye
I bring my background as an artist and knowledge of design principles to create beautiful and interesting designs.
Through typography, gestalt principles, color, and more, I bring visual cohesion to projects.
Education
I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh, where I studied Communications and Nonfiction Writing at college. There, I was introduced to UX design through a class called “Technical Writing in Usability Testing,” and after a semester of conducting audits and writing reports on websites, I was itching to design the changes I suggested.
Career
In the amorphous in-between space many post-grads find themselves in, I worked as a marketing assistant at an agency, and then as an office manager at an accounting & finance firm. While these positions weren’t what I wanted for my career, they showed me how the corporate world works, and what great collaboration looks like.

You can find me on the volleyball court, or reading a book with my cat Opal on my lap.
