I design engaging and intentional digital solutions for every type of human.

With empathy at the forefront of my experiences, I enjoy bridging the gap between functional and beautiful.

 
 

Process

Empathize

This is where questions are asked, audits are performed, preferences are highlighted, competitors are reviewed, and pain-points are discovered.

Align

A melting pot of perspectives, KPIs, program goals and user goals. Where it all comes together, and all parties have an understanding of the path forward.

Design

The stage where ideas and solutions become less about words, and more about a tangible, visual representation of the agreed upon goals and desires.

Validate

What’s the point if your users don’t mesh with the experience? This stage is all about testing- it provides transparency and direction to confirm or continue iterating.
