About

Art and design have been a big part of my life since I was young. Most of my family are artists or performers of some kind, so creative projects were ever-present. I could always be found onstage with my local theater company, filling in with my dad’s band, or quietly creating elaborate collages on my own.

Throughout my career I’ve moved through many different industries - non-profit, administrative, customer service, performance - and all of them taught me valuable skills and lessons about myself. When I was in strictly analytical settings, I missed the creative freedom of the arts; when I was pursuing art, I missed the structure and the benefits of working with a team to solve problems and improve efficiency. A friend suggested that UX/UI Design would strike the perfect balance, and immediately I was hooked.

I’ve always loved how symbolism, patterns, and archetypes can convey so much shared understanding, be it through stories, fine art, or the images on a tarot card. I delight in learning about how these design principles are used in Digital Design to create real-world change, whether it’s focusing on Green UX for a healthier planet, or adapting UI Patterns to address inequity and increase accessibility for a unique and varied audience. Currently, I’m continuing my education by studying the principles of A11Y or accessibility at Deque University.

I bring years of experience in user-focused industries, a keen eye for detail, and a strong desire to learn and grow and adapt to an ever-changing Design landscape. I am deeply passionate about creating products that are both aesthetically beautiful and practical to use, and I enjoy the challenge of collaborating with a dynamic team.

In my free time, I can be found searching for new music to fall in love with, indulging my love of cooking, reading tarot cards, and creating content for The BTS Tarot Project.
