User Experience + Product Designer

About me
I am a strategic product design generalist with 5+ years of professional experience in the UX/UI design and digital marketing space.
I've served as the lead designer on multiple Agile teams, collaborating with cross-functional team members and stakeholders to see projects through from conception to delivery.
My background in consulting, content strategy, and software training has spanned diverse industries, including Agriculture, SaaS, Content Management Systems, and Real Estate. I have a track record of designing delightful products that engage, empathize, and deliver meaningful results.
In my free time, I enjoy oil painting, playing piano, rock climbing, camping, travel, and bringing friends together to make meaningful memories.

Hats I've worn:
I have high standards for the work I deliver, and I'm passionate about ensuring proper handoff to developers and documenting design specs thoroughly.
I approach challenges with a beginner's mindset, because I believe that every day is an opportunity to learn something new.
Ego can be the death of creativity. I make it a priority to keep my ego in check by listening to what people who know better have to say.
I take constructive criticism and direction well, and use it to improve.Great design doesn't happen in a vacuum.
It takes a harmonious team to create intuitive experiences for users.
I actively collaborate with engineering, product management, and the business daily to ensure technical feasibility and align on the direction of the design.
I approach projects pragmatically and realistically in a way that is based on practical, real-world considerations.
My scientific approach to design sets me apart. Instead of guesswork, I rely on quality data and user research to inform decisions.
