hello. i'm a ux designer.


In my former life, I was a digital strategist, marketer and jane-of-all trades in a variety of industries. Now, I create wireframes, study design patterns, mock up interfaces and obsess over perfect typography.My path to interaction design began as a desire to help people better navigate the world they live in with technology they can understand.
