Current Direction
I’m an endlessly curious designer and researcher committed to lifelong learning. As proof of concept, I earned a Master’s degree in Human Factors in Information Design to augment my background in visual and web design. The program, which was rated #1 by UX Magazine, expanded my ability to extract insights through user research and combine them with business objectives to inform innovative product design and optimize the user experience.
