about me
I'm a Chicago native that escaped the cold to the sunny beaches of SoCal.
I enjoy turning challenges into innovative solutions, whether in my designs, crafts, or processes. If there is a more efficient way to make something work, I'm on it.
With over 12 years in the design industry and tech worlds, I'm truly passionate about problem-solving. I've designed 200+ UX projects, helping organizations create elegant solutions that blend their brand and business goals with an exceptional end-user experience.
When I’m not designing I spend my time:
-
traveling! Most notably spent a few weeks all over Europe
-
fostering kittens, which means I’m a professional poop-scooper
-
managing my pets' Instagram account (@Ringo_Oakley_Bowie)
-
renovating our never-ending fixer-upper house
-
filling my home with plants
-
changing small but impactful habits to leave a smaller carbon footprint for the planet
