What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that values creativity and accessibility in design.

My background in graphic design and UI/UX design has allowed me to help companies deliver clear and visually engaging marketing and web materials. Working in marketing has allowed me the opportunity to design for a wide range of purposes, with different audiences in mind. I’ve also provided user research for digital experiences. I’m especially drawn to web design and delivering experiences that are web-friendly.
