BACKGROUND
My years of experience solving problems at companies with limited resources have taught me to lead and be creative under pressure. I approach UX with a background in social impact, marketing & service design.
Specialties include mapping, research, Design Sprints and interaction design. I’m passionate about supporting designers in building their holistic careers and leading product strategy through user-centric design.
TRAINING & PRACTICE
I use discovering research to truly understand problems before jumping to solutions.
I build products and experiences with close collaboration between product, design and engineering.
I believe this field requires designers with integrity, and I’m passionate about the impact of design on the systems which shape our world.
My craft has been heavily influenced by the talented and wicked smart folks at DesignMap, who believe enterprise can be sexy and designers should have integrity. Read more about their philosophy on Designing Designers, Strategic Innovation & User Research. I’ve also benefited greatly from the mentorship of Danielle Malik, founder of Design Equation and former Principal Designer at Hot Studio.
IN MY SPARE TIME
I'm the type of gal who dances at her desk to 80's music and will never get over the fact that there's free coffee in the office. Lover of graphic novels and cheeky puns.
When I'm not designing you can find me traveling, cuddling my cats Benji & Zoë and discovering new words.
