I am a UX Designer with past lives in graphic design and architecture. I hold a MSI degree with a focus on UX Design and Research from the University of Michigan. Most recently, I worked on AI-powered website generation experiences at Butternut.AI, where I focused on making website generation and editing efficient for small business owners.

Before pivoting to UX Design, I co-founded Unbind, facilitated design workshops, created infographics, freelanced website design and development for startups and agencies. These experiences formulated my design process; and taught me a lot about collaborating with stakeholders, storytelling, and being comfortable tackling ambiguous design problems.

When I'm not building things, I love catching up on re-runs of Shogun or Parks and Rec and spending time illustrating! You'll often find me traveling - especially to visit my nephew in SLC, where we share plenty of laughs and movie nights.
