About Me.
I’ve always been passionate about creating with purpose—whether I’m designing stationery, planning fun activities for my kids, or shaping ceramics. There’s an intrinsic satisfaction in crafting my own solutions for everyday items. My love for problem-solving led me to study math and systems in college, where I honed my ability to creatively tackle complex problems and collaborate effectively with diverse teams.
​
Through User Experience design, I’ve found the perfect way to bring these skills together, and I’m passionate about applying them to enhance digital experiences. When I’m not designing, you’ll likely find me staying active through running or a group fitness class, exploring new perspectives in my book club, tackling another house project, or hiking through national parks—constantly seeking new challenges and experiences. Let’s connect and create something amazing together!

Solstice
I worked on a variety of internal and client projects. I worked with a cross-functional team on the development of a chatbot for Solstice’s annual FWD conference. My responsibilities included project management, content strategy, and requirements writing. Later, I worked with the internal resource management team—helping track employee utilization and staff upcoming projects.
I also worked with two Fortune 500 clients—one industrial automation and the other financial services. I helped set up initial web analytics for our industrial automation client by writing acceptance criteria and collaborating with our developers. I also participated in brainstorming sessions around design requirements for their beta website. In addition to my work in industrial automation, I worked with a financial services client. I managed all the internal budget tracking and I worked with a client-side team’s customer-facing website. I took on the responsibility of project planning and ensured the team met the business requirements.
