A little bit about me...

A former therapist and practical idealist, I am passionate about making the world a better place one pixel at a time. I believe UX design is at its best when it's user-centered, research-based, accessible, trauma-informed, and also a little bit fun. ✨🌈

​

I am currently leading product design at Marigold Health, supporting people in their mental health and substance abuse recovery. 🌼 I've worked at agencies and startups, preferring scrappy environments where I can wear multiple hats and collaborate with other smart, kind people. I've recently become a leader of the local Chattanooga UX group and love seeing our community grow.

​

I offer mentorship through DesignLab, but please reach out if you would like to discuss additional mentoring services I may be able to offer to you or your team.

Outside of work, you might find me rock climbing, mommying (yes, that should be a word even if spellcheck doesn't agree), keeping my Wordle/Connections/Tango/Queens streaks alive, or trying to figure out where I might find the tastiest French pastries.

​

Things I've Written:

• Spearheading a website redesign for Viget's Pro Bono Program benefiting underserved populations

• Explaining why websites are always a work in progress (and that's a good thing)

• Advice for how to flourish as a new hire at a fully remote company

• Reflections on my UX apprenticeship at Viget (intended for prospective applicants)

• Common advice I give to my mentees at DesignLab (but potentially useful for other bootcamp students)

• Not UX Design related, but if you are a rock climbing mom, this Baby Beta blog might be a useful resource!
