About me

I’m a web designer, musician, life-long Michigander, coffee lover, and Manchester United fanatic

My beginnings as a web designer started in 2017 when I created my first portfolio. Even since then, I have been continuously learning and refining my skillset, while staying up to date with the latest web design trends.

Who I am

I grew up in southeast Michigan, and graduated from Michigan State University with a BA in Experience Architecture, a degree which encompassed graphic, user experience, and web design.

With more than 5 years of web design and development experience, I currently work as a web designer for eSkillz Corp. creating and developing digital experiences for learning management systems such as Cornerstone and Docebo. I also freelance making websites and graphics for businesses to establish online identities and increase brand awareness.

In my time outside working, I enjoy watching Manchester United games, playing guitar, exploring new places, trying unique restaurants, perfecting my espresso shots, and feeding lettuce to my two rabbits.

How I work

From experience both from college projects and client work, I have found that an iterative design process works the best for not only fully understanding a client’s wants and needs, but also creating a product that is user centric.

My web and UI projects follow an agile workflow and begin with a discovery phase, which unveils the problem that needs to be solved or required items. From there a cycle of wire-framing and prototyping takes place to define the appearance of the digital experience.

I currently work remotely in Grand Rapids, MI, and have collaborated in over 100 design projects in my current role.
