01 ABOUT
MY STORY.
I am a UX/UI leader with over 6 years of experience. I love sinking my teeth into problems and finding creative solutions. As a leader, I enjoy creating a culture of innovation, motivating others to grow in their practice, and building a team of individuals that bring unique perspectives and talents to the table.
When it comes to solving human-centered problems, I am passionate about determining the right problem to be solving. Oftentimes, I find the best solutions are found when individuals with various skill sets come together to achieve a common goal.
I found my way to UX after graduating from Minneapolis College of Art & Design. I was a single mom at the time with a love for problem-solving and understanding others. I had the skills for graphic and web design, an interest in psychology, and a mission to make the lives of others a little easier. After some soul searching and taking a chance on a new career path, I discovered my purpose of collaborating with others, with a variety of skill sets and backgrounds, to connect the dots and solve human problems. This is what drives me daily.
