A few of the projects I've had the change to obsess over. Each one starting from messy problems and early ideas and ending with thoughtful, user-friendly experiences.

How I Use AI
I integrate AI tools across my entire design process, not as a shortcut but as a force multiplier. Research, prototyping, iteration, refinement: there's a place for AI tools at every stage. I know when to reach for Claude, Figma AI, OpenAI, or something else and I know what only a human designer can bring to the process. That combination is where my best work comes from.

UX→Brand Connection
Function and feeling aren't a tradeoff. That is a false choice I don't make. I bridge the gap between UX research and visual identity, ensuring that what the data tells us about users informs not just how an experience works, but how it feels. That's the difference between a product people use and one they actually connect with.

HELLO ITS ME
About Me
I have over a decade of experience in implementing UX frameworks, creating design systems, and generating organization wide design engagement. I have a background in front end development and project management, and I bring those skill sets to my UX design practice.
I live in Boise, Idaho with my husband and our four cats. Besides design, I enjoy being creative in my free time as well by making pottery.
