About me

I have a passion for creating a world that simply works better people. I love to learn about how people perceive their surroundings, and then apply those findings to create effective, engaging, and meaningful experiences.

Rooted in cognitive behavioral science and human factors, I use UX skills and methodologies to learn, communicate, and implement improved experiences through actionable insights, all based on defensible research findings. Most importantly, I use my skills and curiosity to work collaboratively and creatively with my team.

Ultimately, I’m passionate about identifying problems and collaborating on solutions by adapting proven processes based on expertise, experience, and context.
