From business entrepreneur to UX designer

I founded 2 small businesses in my early twenties, and quickly discovered my favorite part of running them was designing the websites. That passion coupled with my background in Sociology led me to UX design. For the past 2 years, I've been desinging enterprise-level membership portals and CRMs.

What I bring to the table

Intersectional
outlook

I bring an ethos grounded in diversity, disability and accessibility studies - which shapes how I understand and advocate for users. I approach projects with an awareness of the many social, cultural and systemic contexts people navigate, ensuring my designs reflect real-world complexity.

Mixed methods
research

With a BA in Sociology and experience as a qualitative and quantitative research assistant, I’m skilled at working with large volumes of participants and data. I’m proficient with analysis tools and bring a rigorous approach to synthesizing insights that meaningfully guide product strategy and design.

Somatic
perspective

My background in somatics helps me notice what users communicate beyond words - through their non-verbal, nervous systems and physical responses. This lens deepens my empathy and guides me to design holistically. I aim to craft interfaces that support to the rich complexity of human experiences.

Outside of work, you’ll find me in the garden, formulating organic skin-care or floating in the lake.

So, who am I?

I'm a herbalist, a dancer and a student of somatics. Away from my desk, you can find me reading by the campfire, catching the sunset or tap dancing at the studio. I spend my weekends tending to local plants and crafting organic skin care products.
