About Me

I started my career in visual design but as my career organically progressed I transitioned to a user experience role. I took a user experience course to fill in any knowledge gaps and am now involved in all aspects of UX including: research, wireframes, journey maps, personas, visual design, moderating user tests, and more.

My creativity is my greatest strength and I enjoy sharing that with our design team by leading fun team building creative exercises .

I love animals, tea, beaches, crafts, costumes, drawing, oldies, publix birthday cake, and traveling.
