Creativity.
Empathy.
I’m passionate about building delightful experiences across web, product, mobile, tablet, and print. As an agile designer and leader, I enjoy working collaboratively and iteratively.
I value honesty and authenticity. I am constantly striving to improve my skills and processes. I don’t mind uncertainty and empathy is my policy.
Intentional, optimistic, team advocate.
My strategy:
research: to learn about the story, users & business needs
explore: to take the research and explore tactful unrestrained solutions
create: to conceptualize, strategize, and design
review: to get feedback/insights from users and stakeholders
_______: (intentionally blank) to allow space for alternative ideas, and for the ideas of others
iterate: to bring deliverables to life or give them new life.

“Good design is actually a lot harder to notice than poor design, in part because good designs fit our needs so well that the design is invisible, serving us without drawing attention to itself.”
