About me
My path to design is a bit non-traditional. In my past career life, I worked as a digital marketer and content creator for music venues. While I mostly enjoyed the work, I realized one day that I was tired of selling to people. I wanted to feel like I was helping people get what they already need, rather than convincing them that they need something they probably don't. I'm an empath, and the kind of person who will apologize profusely if you bump into me, so even though I was good at marketing, I never quite felt like I had the personality for it.
Like a lot of folks, I had a pandemic-inspired identity crisis and after researching new career opportunities and assessing my values and strengths, I decided to take the leap into a full-time UX/UI Design course.

Just a few weeks in, I felt something click. This field energizes me in a way I've never experienced before; it just makes sense for me. Having marketing and illustration skills already, it felt like a natural pivot, but one that would really allow my personality to thrive. I pride myself on being a good listener, and using my predisposition to being on the quieter side as a way to get to the root of problems (however, I can be quite chatty if we’re talking about dogs or TV shows).
Being able to absorb the problems of others can often feel like a burden, but in this space it allows me to create solutions that fix those problems, while making those solutions look good. Now I view most of life's experiences from a designer's perspective, and I'm challenged to learn something new every day.
I’ve spent the last 18 months as a Product Designer at Built Technologies, working on B2B SaaS products. I went from working on student projects to carrying out moderated user tests with real clients, designing end-to-end workflows, and participating in discussions that influenced our company-wide design system, and overall taking extremely complex concepts and simplifying them into intuitive workflows for our customers. I’m eternally grateful that I had that opportunity and can’t think of a better way to have entered the realm of product design, but I’m ready for a new chapter and excited to see what it brings.
When I’m not lost in a Figma file, you can find me watching TV or playing video games with my husband, hanging out with our small zoo of two Greyhounds & two cats, drawing on my iPad while listening to true crime podcasts, daydreaming about our next international trip, or enjoying some craft beer and pizza.
