I’m currently a UX designer based in Seattle and a second-year M.S.HCDE student @UW-HCDE. Previously, I graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder in 2018, majored in Finance at Leeds School of Business, and minored in Creative Technology and Design (formerly TAM). 

 

After graduating, I landed at inventHQ, a community makerspace and design studio as a Creative Technologist.  My work at the makerspace taught me a lot about human nature and how learning design skills creates opportunities for people at any age!

 

I'm passionate about understanding bias and ethics in design systems, connecting people across disciplines, and gamification in interaction design.  With my multidisciplinary background, I can quickly connect how technological components connect to products, and how people can use those products in a specific cognitive and contextual setting. Thus, I can ensure effective collaboration between design, research, and engineering.
