An Ohio native, I began my career studying Graphic Communication Design at the University of Cincinnati's College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning. I graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Design in April 2016. As part of my curriculum, I alternated semesters of college study with full-time work experience in the field of design.
I now call Chicago home, where I have worked in Product Design since 2017. I'm passionate about the research and processes behind discovering and creating the best possible digital experiences. I love solving the puzzle of how design can make the human world easier, faster, and better. I’ve also come to love making internal teams and tools more efficient as well — by creating and managing Design Systems and finding better solutions for the designer-developer handoff.
A few other things I love: cycling, hiking, swimming, dogs, movies, water polo, and of course, Chicago.
