I grew up on a generational farm in rural Minnesota, working and playing hard. I'm endlessly curious, driven to solve problems, and tenacious about continuous improvement.
My interactive design journey evolved thru agency experience followed by UX roles in manufacturing, just culture SaaS, financial, and healthcare sectors. Following a BFA in graphic design, I studied interactive design at Brainco, UX research and design at Prime Digital Academy, and earned CUA and CXA certifications thru Human Factors International (HFI).
Caring is at my core. Complex challenges and diverse perspectives fuel my creativity.
With intrinsic curiosity, empathy-driven research, and innovative human-centered design, I create meaningful and empowering experiences.
