About

Get to know me.

Custom-designed pocket notebooks for my senior BFA show.

I take pride putting exceptional care into my work.

Since graduating with my BFA in Graphic Design in 2018, I’ve spent over 8 years building professional design & front-end experience. I’ve helped bring many client projects to life across web, UX, and branding.

I’m currently at Echo360 (formerly Inkling), a global edtech company, where I work remotely as a senior front-end designer. I develop the templates that power our customers’ large-scale content libraries, equipping teams—from companies such as ServiceNow, Abbott, and Albertsons—to author world-class learning materials. I’m also branching out through innovative projects, UX mentorship, and product design collaboration—all in the pursuit of helping learners achieve their goals.

I fell in love with digital and interactive design at The University of Akron’s Myers School of Art. During my time here, I participated in the school’s in-house design studio, managed the Myers School of Art’s website, and won local and regional ADDY awards for my brand identity work.

Navigating the design industry has helped me hone in on my creativity, organization, and attention to detail, which I apply to all aspects of my career. Regardless of the project, I always aim to learn, have fun, and generate fresh ideas. As a designer, my work has made a positive impact on people, and there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing clients and users happy with the results.

Outside of design, I am keenly interested in new music, art, and travel; these experiences inspire my creative work. I also enjoy writing on my blog to reflect on topics that matter to me. I grew up in Ohio and live in greater Seattle with my husband, Alex.

I like to get out in nature and enjoy the stunning Pacific Northwest.

8+ years of product & creative expertise

Web & UX Design

The web is a brilliant canvas for exploring design. Across websites and apps, I create beautiful, functional, and accessible experiences. My process includes concept ideation, collaboration, research, wireframing, and high-fidelity, responsive mockups and prototypes in both Figma and code.

I rely on my broad, user-focused skillset for every project, from gathering inspiration and redesigning sites to enhancing pages and developing new product features.

Front-End Development

I’m experienced in bringing great design to users’ hands through strategy and implementation. I help build and maintain components, codebases, and documentation using clean, semantic HTML, CSS, Sass, and more. I use content management systems and versioning, and value code organization, communication, and feedback.

I continually deepen my front-end skills through ongoing learning, workshops, and partnership with engineers. Recently, I’ve been diving into design systems, emerging CSS techniques, and JavaScript.

Branding & Digital Design

I create new brand identities and develop visuals within established guidelines. My experience spans small businesses to large enterprise clients, giving me insight into diverse industry needs.

My background in graphic design and advertising informs my approach to logo design, illustration, content design, and more. I design assets and campaigns across platforms that evoke emotion and bring your brand’s essence forward.


Let’s work together!

Indie & pop music 🎵

Live music is an endless source of joy and inspiration for me. I’m also a big fan of discovering new artists and making playlists for friends.

Creativity 📸

When you’re driven to something, and nothing can pull you away from it, actually learning the material and practicing it is no hard work at all.
