About me

I am a Christian designer and artist pouring passion, empathy, and joy in to everything I create. Nature, jazz, classical music, faith, impressionist art, and accessibility are my greatest sources of inspiration. When I am rarely not doing something creative, I can be found hiking outdoors, reading, fencing, hanging out with my cats, or playing board games.

Professional Background

I'm a medical device experience designer working at the intersection of digital and physical product experiences specializing in interfaces on or in medical devices.

I use a proven multidisciplinary approach to design integrating professional industrial design, digital design, experience strategy, and anthropology approaches and experience together to provide empathetic and human-centered experiences with a focus on accessibility, culture, and key stakeholder needs. My passion is in improving healthcare experiences and my purpose is empowering those with different ability or illness.

My strength is as a design generalist, not siloed into a specific area of design. Storytelling, compassion, strategy, and meaningful inspiration drive my design process to generate perceptive, bold, and people-first solutions. My areas of expertise are in designing medical devices, graphic user interfaces, connected responsive apps, and assistive product solutions. I am a designer with disability, and I use my disability as my superpower to supercharge my empathy for people living with different ability or temporary disability due to illness.

I strive to produce thorough and thoughtful deliverables with attention to detail by using a highly iterative work ethic centered around critique from team members and user feedback. Due to my drive to learn and grow professionally and personally, I always try to remain receptive and welcoming to feedback and critique.

Organization is paramount so I can set clear, impactful, and time-sensitive goals. In the professional environment, I enjoy bringing together collaborative and multidisciplinary teams while performing as an engaging, honest, and punctual team player. When tasked to lead or direct teams, I put the project success and team needs first by being an empowering, nurturing, and inclusive team organizer. It is important for me to be kind to and considerate of not only the people I design for, but also the people I design with.
