The Thinker Behind the Experience

I excel at building the structured development of systematically and strategically designed solutions. By combining design systems, UX/UI/CX knowledge, and business strategy, I help organizations identify opportunities of expansion or regrouping, then build pathways to achieve these visionary projects. My calm, curious, and analytical traits are supported by idealistic and theoretical approaches.

​I am 
currently exploring different paths to leverage my expertise in strategic design thinking and organizational development throughout my career and volunteer positions.

Review, research, and organization of complex information builds a definition of a potential problem(s).

Potential pathways are considered and researched to build understanding and guide creative development.

Ideas are tested and successful solutions are managed through production and maintained after launch.

Brief Background


​Originally from Ohio, I have called many places "home" since leaving after college graduation in 2007, but the home that holds my heart is in the Midlands of the UK. I currently live in Maryland where I am preparing to expand and transition my career once again.

Since 2007 I have cultivated a career dedicated to creating award-winning designs for both commercial and non-profit sectors. My craft crosses into fine art, establishing myself successfully within the creative arts industry and entrepreneurship. My artworks can be found in private collections in the US, UK, and Spain. I hold a BFA in graphic design from Ohio University and have continued to learn through a variety of methods: mentorship, certifications, teaching, and more.
