hey look, it me.

I’m a well rounded UX and product designer, problem solver, and team player. I get excited about replacing really dull, repetitive, and downright terrible experiences with solutions that better serve people.

Working for the The Home Depot in Atlanta where in my current role I’m focused on design operations and design systems.

I’ve been helping transform and modernize the way the company builds software and designs exceptional experiences for associates and customers.

Previously, I was at Travel Syndication Technology and before that I worked at a bunch of other places you’ve probably never heard of. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
