I've been designing and leading human-centered digital experiences in higher education for 8 years.
I’m a hands-on UX design manager who thrives on versatility. I lead a creative services team crafting digital learning experiences for the next generation of healthcare professionals.

Coming SoonEarly on, my love of designing and creating started with drawing, painting, and building things like Legos and skate ramps. I still love Legos and wood working and these days I'm fortunate to design digital experiences.
I started my career with a focus on graphic design, creating branding for a variety of clients, but my focus in recent years has shifted to interaction design. I enjoy working through an iterative process of research, data analysis, prototyping and testing to arrive at a finished product. Visuals alone are not enough, I want to create products that are driven by data and exceed user expectations.
When I'm not designing, I enjoy traditional and digital art, reading, DIY house projects and gardening. Moving creatively outdoors is also a huge part of my life. I love cruising around the skate park on my rollerblades, climbing rocks at places like the Red River Gorge, playing disc golf, and hiking and camping with my wife.
