I'm a design and technology generalist with expertise in a variety of areas, like UX strategy and research, front-end development and technical strategy, system design, operational processes, and more.All of my work is aimed at making the users I serve happier and more productive, whether they’re a customer, a teammate, or a stakeholder. I have a knack for understanding systems, and can often recognize patterns where others simply see complexity. Having an intuitive grasp of the way things connect allows me to build bridges between people and ideas, and to quickly process options and analyze the implications of a direction.

I have the privilege of leading a group of talented UX professionals on the SMB Platform team (design, development, research, and content). We help develop systems that improve internal delivery and end-to-end user experiences – things like: supporting Design System adoption, building internal tools for visibility and easier development, building deeper customer empathy through new user research and data integrations.

As the Creative Director at Snaptrends, I split my time between designing the UI/UX for the application and overseeing design and visuals for Marketing. On the product side, I led the design of new and existing features. This consisted of managing the design process, working alongside engineers to identify the problems and come up with solutions, making flat and live code mockups, and then finally assisting in the front-end development of the final product.On the marketing side, I designed and coded the company’s website, top to bottom. I helped lead marketing campaign efforts and directed the creation of numerous print and digital pieces to support those efforts.All along the way I co-led the creation of CSS and HTML guidelines, but I also began adding AngularJS to my arsenal, which has made my participation in building the end-product even more fluid than before.

As Senior UX/UI Designer at Bypass, I led the design and redesign of products on multiple platforms across the web and Android devices. Bypass had a suite of Android applications with similar functionalities, but disparate codebases and interface patterns. I helped unify the workflows and interfaces for these apps and created standards for UI consistency.The Android applications were used on the ground in stadiums and performance venues as a point of sale, but they all integrated with the web-based backend, which managed point-of-sale reporting and inventory management. I helped redefine workflows and interfaces here as well, building new components and updating old ones to help end-users manage games and concerts more efficiently.

As a UX Designer at Ringtail, I was part of a two-person design team, creating interfaces and workflows for numerous applications. We worked closely with engineers to create apps on multiple platforms, including web, Android, and Windows Desktop. Together, we defined objectives, went through design processes, and coded numerous applications from the ground up. Some of our work was focused on large-format touch-screen technology, integrating map-based playback of events with multimedia data feeds to assist in our users’ awareness of situations. We also built phone-based reporting applications that could send real-time reports, photos, and multimedia back to a web-based hub for review.

As an in-house Graphic Designer, I led the design of all kinds of media to support communications inside and outside the church. From identities for events, designing and implementing websites to designing books and brochures and managing the printing process to completion, among other things.

My main responsibility was to assist the other designers in photo research, making print-ready files, and creating alternative layouts. However, I was also given the opportunity to do a few projects on my own.
