I've been helping businesses better connect with their customers since 2008 and I still love it.2008 - 2014design studios
The first chapter of my career was set in Chicago at design studios including Grip Design. Here, I honed my design craft, refined my storytelling skills, mastered how to resonate with target audiences, and even learned to code.

During my years of self employment, I partnered with a Magento preferred development agency to design and launch e-commerce sites for companies in beauty, clothing & furniture industries.
I also enjoyed partnering with small businesses in need of brand and UX design.

At Weedmaps, I collaborate with cross-functional teams to create vision prototypes of dynamic, and personalized experiences to re-engage users. Then, ship validated segments of this vision resulting in increased conversion and retention.

Outside of work I'm usually getting muddy on the pottery wheel, in the garden, or amongst the trees.
