At JB Hunt, I have a strong understanding of supply chain, B2B, data visualization, truckload, LTL, inter-modal, and fulfillment. Freight shipping is what we do. My team services many domains across the organization. I personally serve and manage 4 different products in these domains. My goal is to use research based information to better serve our internal users. I care a lot about helping people to the best of my ability, and I believe that strong research is vital to my teams success. My team has dedicated researchers, but I also conduct some of my own workshops and contextual inquiries when trying to learn who my users are instead of relying solely on the personas. I also facilitate design thinking workshops to further help my teams efforts!

As an illustrator in this industry, the main goal was to take customer requests, produce art work, render a proof to send back to the customer, and eventually send files to the factory for final production.
