I didn’t grow up dreaming of wireframes or dashboards. I just knew I was endlessly curious about people and how things worked. That curiosity followed me everywhere, from coding my first project in college to asking why a user dropped off mid-survey.

After earning my Master’s in Computer Science from Indiana University, I found myself drawn to more than just clean code. I wanted to build things that felt right. Things that made someone say, “Oh, this just makes sense.” That’s when I stumbled into the world of UX.

From leading research for nonprofits to visualizing data that actually drives decisions, I’ve had a front-row seat to how tech and empathy can work hand-in-hand. One day I’m sketching out a new user flow, the next I’m deep in stakeholder interviews or untangling a messy data set, and honestly, I love both sides.

Now, I live in that sweet spot between logic and creativity, blending UX research, data analysis, and strategy to create experiences that are intuitive, human, and a little delightful.

Beyond The Screens:

When I’m not designing or decoding data, I’m usually out on a trail, losing track of time under open skies. Nature has a way of grounding me, and yes, I will stop every few steps to take pictures of trees, clouds, or anything that looks remotely cinematic.

At home, I’m happiest curled up with a cup of coffee and a good book, especially when the rain’s tapping on the windows. Movies are my other escape from slow-burning indie dramas to epic blockbusters. I love getting lost in stories that stick with you long after the credits roll.

And when none of that’s happening, you’ll probably find me binge-watching anime or daydreaming about my next travel adventure.
