Design Process (1).png

Most of my professional experience has been in product support and project coordination. Across all of my roles, I’ve maintained both a scrappy & creative spirit and an analytical & detailed eye.

I’ve always genuinely enjoyed unpacking user pain points and ultimately improving experiences that bring people together online and offline--especially by utilizing storytelling to weave a coherent picture of diverse user needs, values, and backgrounds.

I’m currently applying for roles in research (in UX & the social sciences), writing, product copywriting, CX (on the writing & research side), and additionally am interested in doing an apprenticeship in user research.

let’s break it down.
