About
A hands-on creative with more than 18 years design experience.
I’ve been an individually motivated one woman shop for art and design. I build clean, appealing, and functional interfaces that comply with the latest accessibility and digital product standards. My background in user interface design is accented by a multi-disciplinary skillset that includes visual design, UX methods, strategy and project management. The result is beautiful, well-planned digital products that are intuitive, engaging, and compelling.
Obtaining a bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design with a minor in Art History, has prepared me for a vibrant career in digital marketing and tech.
Currently at Meta, I find joy in creating products and experiences that are accessible to everyone. This involves considering the needs of people with disabilities, as well as those who may have limited access to technology/resources. I have a deep understanding of the product lifecycle end to end, and can communicate complex issues around technical constraints. Specializing in hands on design leadership, I have exceptional product thinking, interaction design, execution and craft abilities. I’ve made large scale impact by applying reusable design system patterns to streamline workflows across Meta’s design organization with my Tidy Figma Template.
I value research and user insights, driving research studies with UXR partners and conducting numerous user interviews to inform final designs. I consistently improve my prototyping skills using Figma and Origami creating prototypes to expedite reviews and decision-making. I'm quick to embrace change and lean into the strategy to reach alignment on the goals of the customer and the business.
Women are underrepresented in the tech industry, supporting women in tech is an important way to promote diversity and inclusivity. I'm involved in mentoring and networking with women in tech, promoting women-led businesses and startups, and advocating for policies that support gender equity. As an inclusive and collaborative partner, I actively participate in hack-a-thons, lend my design skills to the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion team and foster positive culture and team health in all of my interactions and partnerships.
I create positive change in the world by choosing environmentally friendly products that help reduce environmental impact and promote a sustainable living. Plant propagation is a great way to reduce waste and contribute to a more sustainable lifestyle. Gifting rare plant cuttings is something I do for fun. As an avid user on Facebook group, Buy Nothing Rivertowns. It’s a great way to reduce waste and build community. By sharing items for free, you can reduce demand for new products and build relationships with your neighbors.
By acting on these interests, I continue to make a meaningful difference in my career, local community and beyond.
