I have degrees in both Interdisciplinary Studies & Occupational Therapy. During my time completing my Interdisciplinary Studies degree, I took several Fine Arts courses - as this was & has always been a passion of mine. Some of the courses I took include: Design, Drawing, Printmaking, & Painting -to name a few.I have 3+ years of work experience in Product Design, with a strength in UX Research. I attribute this to my research skills from Occupational Therapy. With my background in Occupational Therapy, I have discovered that Product Design & O.T. share parallel thought processes. Both of which employ user-centered practices to solve user problems & enhance the human experience. I feel this is an invaluable asset in the Product Design/UX field, as I can empathize with users & see the world through their perspective.After reflecting on my experience in different roles & organizations, I’ve learned a few different things about my working style:∙ I enjoy challenging myself by learning new skills∙ Complacency is not a word in my vocabulary∙ I enjoy a balance of working on my own & ideating/iterating alongside team membersOutside of work you can find me:🏋🏼‍♀️ Working out at the gym📚 Reading anything & everything of interest🐶 Hanging out with my dogs, Gunnar & Freyja🏕 Camping/Being out in Nature✈️ TravelingTools of Choice for Product Design:Pen & Paper, Miro, Figma, Dovetail
