Experience Designer | Colorado Native | LA Local | Indiana University Alumnus
I am an adaptable technologist who is passionate about the user experience. Whether it be a website, an app, in-person, or virtual, every experience should be empathetically designed through a user-centric lens. I am results-driven and rely on data to inform my actions. I also try to get involved beyond my role (see Less Formal Experience below). I am an avid snowboarder and amateur photographer. I love to be creative and to create innovative experiences for myself and those around me. Utilizing feedback from peers and management I am working hard to develop my toolset to further my career and create an amazing team.
