/About

Design; it can empower or exclude the user. My mission is to ensure that it empowers. With a decade of experience creating intuitive, inclusive, and engaging experiences for physical and digital spaces, I can design seamless solutions that prioritize accessibility and ease of use. This ensures that every project I work on is designed to make a meaningful impact. I’m a deeply empathetic and highly skilled UX designer, with expertise across a full range of front-end design tools, and I make sure design is open and accessible to all.

Work

A collection of work that I am most proud of.

Proj. Mercury

Andersen Construction reached out and asked if I could consult on one of their projects. What started off as an advisory role has turned into a leadership position where I’m responsible for the team that’s designing their bespoke in-house software.

New Horizons Travel App

New Horizons is a travel booking and management company who want to make vacationing stress free. Their platform accomplishes this by leveraging machine learning and utilizing cross platform applications on commonly used devices.

Mountain Project App

I worked with REI to explore a potential redesign of Mountain Project so it could generate more revenue;while retaining its value for climbers. We looked at partnering with guide books and climbing area developers to enhance engagement without compromising the user experience.

Fun Projects

These are side projects I do for fun.

JOLLIE Design System

I made my own design system focused on accessibility so I could make my applications quicker and know they would be full accessible.

Arc Bounties

Based off the game Arc Raiders by Embark, this tool allows for you to place bounties on players who have wronged you.

It uses Supabase – Auth, Realtime, Storage and Edge Functions.

Route Generator

Even great setters suffer from brain fog.

Route generator was created to help practice and inspire routes for setters to design.

The Auer Group

A number of years ago I did a leadership training course through The Auer Group.

I helped with the redesign and experience of their site.
