ABOUT ME

Creativity, empathy, writing, research, adventure, and discovery have always been my driving forces in life. Out of high school, I studied songwriting and leadership training abroad in Sydney, Australia for four years. While there, I taught myself how to record & produce music, build websites, and start an apparel design company. When I came back to the United States, I launched another website & business writing, recording, and performing music based off of wedding couples’ love stories. I became an avid videographer, performer, and all-around content creator on Youtube and other social media platforms.

All of these driving forces and experiences have slowly led me towards a career in User Experience Design. I desire to help design better products for people. I am passionate about doing the hard yards that it takes to research, design, and iterate solutions that change people’s lives for the better. I would love to find a position at a company where there’s an encouraging group of designers I can gleam from and grow with.

When I’m not relaxing with my beautiful wifey and baby girl, I’m either playing music, cooking, volunteering, hosting friends, exercising, thrill-seeking, or up-skilling myself in a new sphere of knowledge.
