I am a Portland, OR based UX Designer focused on using Human Centered techniques to create new, wonderful experiences.
I am a User Experience Designer that thrives in an environment where I can solve complex problems and create products and solutions that serve all users. I approach UX with an information-based mindset and strive to ensure decisions are rooted in research to provide best in class experiences.
I am a Master of Human Computer Interaction Graduate from Carnegie Mellon University and a proud Oregon State Beaver! After getting my BS in CS, I realized I wanted to be closer to users and become heavily involved in creating and researching new technology which led me to specializing in User Experience.
When I'm not at work, you can find me out hiking around Oregon and Washington, playing Stardew Valley with friends, skiing on Mt. Hood, exploring new coffee shops, or taking my dog CJ on adventures around Portland!
