I have a breadth of experience in different design fields and industries. I've been on the in-house side of rolling out a brand for a large Healthcare system. I've been involved in complex enterprise software roll-outs. I have even helped feather a big bird while interning at the Jim Henson Company.
I am happiest in strategic roles where I can help drive meaningful innovation and support growing UX teams.
