Designer, Thinker, Doer, Creator

​​

Artists create through observation of the natural world and then we take those images and apply our talents to bring them to life for others to enjoy. 

​

Similarly, User Experience Designers take everyday problems and apply ideas, concepts, innovative thinking, and our own talents into creating memorable experiences, products, and services for people. 

​

Both require curiosity, a willingness to understand the subject you are trying to create for, and an undying desire to get it right. Even if that means going through multiple iterations of a design. 

 

Like art, designs are never complete. They are ebbing and flowing living things that can be adjusted, reworked, and redesigned to achieve maximum viability/lovability for all involved.

 

This is how I think. It's who I am and what I enjoy. 

​

WHO AM I:

​

I am a mother, wife, and friend. I am a scientific thinker, a creative doer, and a huge fan of music, nature, technology, the arts, and amazing food. Tattoos, punk rock, and Star Wars are cool. I cried when Solo, then Leia, then Luke died. Empathy is a real thing.

​

I'm an entrepreneurial thinker/doer, inventor, writer of short fiction and poetry, illustrator, and public speaker.

​

I am from Austin, Texas and the daughter of an artist who taught me to look at things differently from an early age. 

​

Currently, I am living in Atlanta, Ga. working as a UX Principal for The Home Depot and working on store systems with the Enterprise UX team. â€‹

​

I'm looking for roles in UX Leadership, UX Architecture, or Service Design because I like filling in gaps to make things better.

How can I help?
