Designer
Having designed B2B software for the past 8 years, I'm motivated by large, complex, and messy problems. I claim the title "UX Generalist" proudly—I love leading a team through the full cycle of research, ideation, validation, implementation, and iteration.
I've taken a special interest in both learning and educating my teams about accessible web design practices and creative ideation tactics.
Speaker
I'm particularly passionate about engaging my developer and product management teammates in the research and design process, helping them connect deeply with customer problems, and fostering environments where anyone can produce innovative solutions.
In my free time, I love consuming psychology and neuroscience research to make sense of the conditions that lead our brains to the most creative solutions. This became the basis for my 2023 UXPA talk.
creator + learner
As a person, I'm a serial hobbyist who's passionate about lifelong learning and creating for joy. I take weekly Spanish classes, try out different craft and art classes around my city, and regularly practice some of my favorites creative outlets at home (flower arranging, sewing and upcycling clothes, photo editing, and more).
