About Me

Creative by nature and analytical by trade, I am a great example of a whole brain thinker. My professional background is in Product Assurance via Quality Assurance and Community Support, so I have become innately talented at turning customer insights into design elements within products, and bridging the communication gap between engineers and the rest of us non-engineers.

I recently graduated from Northwestern University's McCormick School of Engineering with a Masters in Product Design and Development Management. Through this program, I learned just how fascinated I am about user experience and product design. My new professional purpose is to blow people away with simple solutions to their everyday problems. 

Technology changes, and it's fascinating to me to see how design helps the world catch up, and create new elements and systems never thought possible a mere ten years ago. 

In my spare time, I enjoy teaching yoga, surfing, hiking, and thinking of ideas to solve problems. Whether it's in software or not, finding what makes people happy is an amazing thing, and is what makes me tick.
