About Me
I’m a UX/UI designer and researcher, an artist, and a craftswoman.
All my life I’ve felt a calling to create products that enhance people’s everyday lives. In my early career, I studied usability and conducted evaluative research through physical objects such as pottery and glassware. Now, I also apply my expertise to digital systems because I view them as the most impactful craft artifacts in modern society. Digital systems have a wide-reaching impact and enormous potential to help people… and that is what meaningful design is all about!
When I’m not working on art and design projects, you can usually find me chatting the day away, doting on my beautiful cat (Lucy), or going to a concert.

In each case, she focuses on the goal of the user and brings solutions to the table.
