I’m a skilled designer with a passion for clean & consistent code, excellent user experience, and innovative design. What else? Add in excellent people skills, a great attitude, a sense of humor, and an eagerness to collaborate! I am a self starter who is always hungry for an opportunity to learn and grow. Let’s talk!
I am thankful to have had the opportunity to explore several spaces within the website and application lifecycle. Being part of small teams has allowed me to be involved in discovery, research, and design. I have been able to apply my creativity to provide intuitive solutions for our users. My passion, however, is in the development process. Coding techniques are always changing, and being challenged to create clean, consistent, and sustainable code has proven to really fuel me in my career. Rather than feeling discouraged, running into a problem or a challenge excites me, because I know I'll learn something new when I solve it.
