I’m a UX design leader, creative problem-solver, and lifelong maker who believes great design starts with understanding people.

With over 20 years of experience, I’ve built my career turning complex challenges into intuitive, meaningful experiences. I enjoy connecting the dots, challenging assumptions, and collaborating with people who bring different perspectives to the table. Whether I’m leading a design initiative, mentoring fellow designers, or rolling up my sleeves in Figma, I’m happiest when I’m creating something that makes a difference.

But creativity doesn’t stop when I close my laptop.

Outside of work, I’m a mom of two, a DIY enthusiast, and someone who’s rarely without a project in progress. From renovating my home and tackling projects most people would hire out, to exploring art, photography, and anything that lets me work with my hands, I love figuring out how things work and making them better.

I’m equally passionate about staying active and finding new adventures. Whether it’s powerlifting, yoga, cycling, going to a game or concert, or hitting the open road on a motorcycle, I appreciate a good challenge and rarely turn down an opportunity to try something new.

Giving back is also important to me. I’ve volunteered with organizations including Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Pelotonia, Habitat for Humanity, and Mid-Ohio Food Collective. I’ve also had the opportunity to put my creative skills to work for organizations like Gladden Community House and A Kid Again, as well as several small businesses.

At the end of the day, whether I’m designing digital experiences, renovating a bathroom, or supporting my community, I’m driven by the same things: curiosity, creativity, and the satisfaction of making something better than I found it.
