I am a visual communicator and sustainability advocate with a drive to do work that matters. I believe in the potential of good design to tackle real-world problems — I want to work with teams and organizations that share my mission to effect meaningful change through creativity and innovation.

In 2023 I received my Master of Arts in Sustainable Design from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. Through the program I have expanded my knowledge and expertise around sustainability issues, resilient design strategies, and effective communication techniques. I hope to connect with like-minded partners and organizations who are committed to improving their own sustainability and CSR initiatives.
In my current role at UScellular, I specialize in visual UI/UX design, with an emphasis on web accessibility. I am the senior designer on a small but dedicated team working to continually enhance the eCommerce customer experience. I've supported initiatives such as improving site search, transitioning through multiple rebrands and site evolutions, ushering in responsive design and compliance with WCAG standards, and working with high-profile brands such as Apple, Google, and Samsung.
Prior to my current position, my career has spanned print and digital design and photography. My experience includes:
• Branding/identity/logo design
• Responsive UI design
• UX strategy
• Photography (outdoor/nature, live events, interiors, products)
• Photo editing
• Illustration (digital/traditional)
• Infographic design
• Publication layouts
• Working knowledge of HTML, CSS
• Web accessibility best practices
• Knowledge of SEO best practices
