About

I am a Senior UX / Product Experience Designer based in the Indianapolis area. With a background in graphic design, I’ve honed my ability to craft compelling visuals, but my passion for human-centered design led me to evolve my career into UX, UI, and product experience design.

I specialize in designing holistic, user-centered experiences that balance usability, aesthetics, and business goals. From concept development to execution, I focus on creating intuitive, frictionless interactions that not only meet user needs but also drive engagement and delight. I thrive on solving complex problems, optimizing workflows, and ensuring that digital products deliver seamless and impactful experiences.

What sets me apart is my ability to think strategically about the entire product journey and its role within the broader ecosystem. I love collaborating with cross-functional teams to bridge the gap between user needs, business objectives, and technical feasibility.

Beyond UX and PX, I have a strong passion for illustration and iconography, leveraging these skills to enhance product storytelling and brand identity.

When I'm not designing or drawing something, I can be found hanging out with my husband and our dog, gaming, reading, obsessing over music, or assembling a Lego set.
