I build robust design systems and interactive prototypes that serve as a functional blueprint for engineering teams. By integrating technical documentation with structural logic, I ensure every digital product is scalable, consistent, and ready for development.

I enhance existing products through data-driven audits and accessibility-first optimizations. By refining user flows and iterating based on direct feedback, I evolve interfaces into more inclusive, high-performing experiences.

As a UX professional, I am dedicated to making the complex feel simple. My experience—ranging from military service to web strategy at IBM—has fueled my passion for building accessible, scalable, and fantastic user experiences. I design with intent, ensuring every interaction is both functional and vibrant.
Outside of design, you'll likely find me baking something artistic or planning my next travel adventure. I enjoy keeping a mix of creative outlets, whether it's catching up on X-Men comics, staying active at the gym, or reading a new novel. I'm a longtime Colorado resident who values a quiet weekend spent recharging with my family and finding inspiration in the world around me.
