I’ve known I wanted to be an artist ever since I cracked open my first comic book at five years old. I earned a B.A. in Art and Design from the University of Northern Colorado in 2014 and since then, I’ve gained eight years of experience in a variety of high-output businesses. I have experience in web design, client, people and project leadership, data analytics and culture development. Throughout those eight years, I’ve never lost my passion or drive for art. I’ve spent hours outside of work escaping to fantastical and sci-fi realms, world-building and practicing storytelling through sketching, digital painting and concept design. I’ll never stop exploring my passion for both art and leadership.
Throughout my career, I have been deeply involved in developing design systems that unify multi-product and multi-user ecosystems, enabling intuitive user experiences while balancing technical and creative workflows. The client is at the heart of it all, whether internal or external. Design is about collaboration. I've championed new processes and refine current processes like design critiques, sprints, and strategic rituals, creating a culture of collaboration that drives team velocity and design excellence. My hands-on expertise with tools like Figma, Photoshop, Jira, and Procreate and my commitment to mentoring and growing talent has helped my teams scale and thrive in fast-paced, ever-evolving environments.
My passion lies in crafting unified product experiences, integrating design practices into larger business objectives, and fostering cultures where creativity, collaboration, and growth can flourish. I am a deeply creative person at and outside of work. I believe in dismantling hierarchies of ideas, fostering creativity, and mentoring a team of human beings I will work alongside to develop great products. I love to build teams who love to create products.
