About Me


Origin story

When I was a little girl, I dreamed of personas and journey maps dancing in my head….
just kidding that would be insane.

What I DID dream about was a career that was both creative and intellectually challenging. I struggled to find that balance, every path seemed to lean hard one way or the other. But when I was the President of the NTSO at Texas State, my VP walked in on me redesigning the organization’s website and building a training guide and he said, “Hey… have you ever heard of UX?”

It was kismet. I signed up for the intensive bootcamp immediately upon graduating. I had the great fortune of finding a career that my brain is made for. With a love of evidence through research and a strong sense of information architecture, UX also feeds my hunger for curiosity and creativity by allowing for innovative thinking and unique solution finding.

To be valued for what comes natural to you is truly special.
