Howdy! I'm a seasoned Product Designer with a proven track record of leading design strategy, shipping award-winning digital products, and upskilling teams. I'm also a huge fan of breakfast tacos.

Currently, I'm using my years of experience as a UX jack-of-all-trades and design educator to lead a UX-focused L&D program at a Fortune 500. I enjoy bringing meaningful and impactful training to team of over 250 User Experience professionals, but am eager to return to designing and delivering delightful user-centered digital experiences.

I've had the chance to work as a solo UX team member, as part of larger design orgs, and even to build UX teams from scratch. It's been an incredible experience to meet so many talented and intelligent professionals along the way.

When I'm not busy with a creative project or juggling my 200 open browser tabs, you'll probably find me indulging in a delicious breakfast taco at one of Austin's great taquerias.
