All About Me
With 20 years in education and a newly completed UX design program, I bring a unique blend of teaching, instructional design, and user experience expertise to the table. My educational background enhances my empathy, information structuring, and clarity in design. As a UX designer, I aim to create intuitive, accessible digital experiences that solve real-world problems. Outside of work, I enjoy outdoor adventures with my family and German Shepherd, Kai, in the Pacific Northwest, which inspires my user-focused design solutions.
