Info πŸ’Œ

I love to create experiences that have beauty AND brains:

making things look beautiful with smart strategy and thoughtful UX.

A big believer in accessibility and inclusiveness, I love connecting people with experiences through visual storytelling and concept-driven design. I especially love navel-gazing about the future and how designers can support people’s values and intentions. With over 15 years of design under my belt, I'm always scheming ways to inject a little personality and friendliness into experiences. By moonlight, I dabble in illustration where I like to hone my storytelling chops, and I’m currently an aspiring futurist πŸ€™
