Gather around, for I have a tale to tell…

👋 Hi, I’m a designer with a Brain for Behavior & a Heart for Play

I design products that feel human, purposeful, and engaging—often by blending UX strategy, gamification, and a deep understanding of how people think, feel, and interact.

Before becoming a designer, I was a linguistic researcher, language teacher, and game tester. Each role taught me how to untangle complexity, tell better stories, and design experiences that connect. Whether it was making abstract concepts fun in the classroom or spotting behavior-shaping patterns in gameplay, I’ve always been driven by how people learn, engage, and make decisions.
Now, I bring that background into my design work by:
– Building products that not only work well—but feel great to use
– Turning fuzzy user problems into focused design opportunities
– Creating clarity and flow in complex systems

I thrive in collaborative, feedback-friendly environments and love working across disciplines to bring ideas to life. I don’t need a title to lead—I’m the kind of teammate people turn to when things get messy and need thoughtful untangling.

Right now, I’m embarking on a quest to join a design team that’s as excited about building cool products as I am. Drop me a line at [email protected].

Thank you for pausing on your journey to share in mine. 🙂

When I am outside of my design bubble…

You’ll probably find me covered in glitter or puppy fur. I foster dogs until they find their forever homes, craft monster books from glue and paper towels, and paint myself in glow colors to dance the night away with friends. I work hard and play hard—with creativity in everything I do.
