Get to know Me

I have four years of experience in UX Design, but I've worked in tech since 2016. Right now I'm an in-house designer at the American Medical Association, where I focus on creating user-centered solutions that engage physicians. I have a Master's degree in Marketing with a concentration in Information Systems Management from Loyola University Chicago and a Bachelor's degree in International Studies from the University of North Carolina, Charlotte.

I love design because it's given me the power to create things for work and that the work involves collaborating. I love the feeling when you give another designer advice, they take it and it improves what they were working on. Like by yourself, you had an okay design but together you made something great. I love it when someone I'm working with ignores my advice because they don't want to follow conventions. Then it's like we had our own tiny rebellion. I love that everyone has their own rules for what makes good design and learning those is always interesting. I get a wonderful feeling when I can navigate those while still creating something functional, aesthetic and useful.

Outside of work, I spend a lot of time with my family consisting of a dog and three cats and my husband. My current side project involves designing and building a rummy game app and learning Unity in the process. In my free time, I love playing video games and watching TV shows, particularly procedural dramas. I love being crafty! Right now, I'm obsessed with knitting and baking. I also have a habit of listening to audiobooks I find on NPR and the Atlantic while I play farming sims. Also, I'm a huge Swiftie.
