More About Me:

UX/UI Design & Development

Simply put, I have a broad range of skills. I have a strong coding skillset that can be applied to any framework, and choose to operate these UI Development skills through the lens of a UX'er. My process is driven by user-centered design and a deep understanding of the nuances of the human mind. I have a broad range of e2e application skills, from UX and UI, to Angular, React, AWS, Python, JAVA, and more.

Leadership & Service

My personal life is devoted to leadership & service to those around me. I feel the most embodied when I am able to both learn & be of service. I have a degree in management, and my background is that of a C-suite executive at two separate agencies. I absolutely love empowering my team to be the best they can be. I was trained in emotional IQ & leadership by Ascension Leadership Academy [ATX-5].

Accessibility / a11y

I was tasked with ensuring WCAG 2.0 Level AA compliance for a Fortune 500 client. To do this, I would ensure any given component had proper screenreader arcitechture as well as working closely with UX to better understand how to serve the needs of those with disabilities. I was directly responsible for meeting with UX leads & creating the dynamic aria-label architecture for millions of customers.

Creative Direction / Swiss-Army Knife

I would consider myself a true creative, so I have experience in various disciplines. My previous bosses would consider me a bit of a "swiss-army knife". I have acted as lead designer at a startup. I've created entire design systems on Figma. I fly drones & ride OneWheels. I am deeply fascinated by a variety of topics, so whether it's my day one or day one-hundred, expect me to bring all that curiosity & vision to the table.
