Exploring how visual design meets human behavior
I am drawn to understand how layout, interaction, and structure shape how a project is understood and experienced. I love exploring how people think, what they notice, and how small design decisions can make an interaction feel seamless and intuitive. Each project is a new challenge to understand the pieces, ask the right questions, and shape an outcome that comes together seamlessly.
Cohesive Experiences, in any setting
My work often lives across both digital and physical environments, from websites and interfaces to event design materials like signage and the overall flow of an experience. I’m especially interested in how systems and thoughtful design can create consistency, trust, and ease.
Systems Thinking into Operational Leadership
My systems-focused approach has also naturally expanded into operational leadership. Over time, designing for people has meant not only creating the work itself, but helping build the processes, communication, and structure that allow teams and projects to function smoothly. Whether it’s a one-pager or fostering company and staff alignment during difficult moments.
Creating with Purpose and Perspective
At the core of everything I do is a belief that design should work for everyone. The best outcomes come from collaboration, empathy, and an attention to both fine details and the bigger picture. Great human design is a balance between creativity and function, intuition and structure, and people and the world we build around them.

About Me
I live in Columbus, OH with my two cats, Milk and Bird.
In my spare time I enjoy exploring nature and being outside as well as restorative yoga, knitting, and creating blueprints for homes. I also spend a few hours a week volunteering at the local library.
I started designing in high school when I took a Visual Communication vocational my junior year. I have always loved art, but once I got into the class and learned about the expansive world design has to offer, it just felt natural. In college I was introduced to the world of front-end development and I fell in love with the process of UX and UI, bridging the gap between something that is so familiar to me, visual design, with my curiosity of those around me and what makes people tick.
Throughout my career in the public library system and working with Appalachian and rural Ohio, I am fortunate to have gained a deep understanding of designing for diverse audiences and what it truly means to design for people. I am a firm believer in the importance of fostering a collaborative, empowering, and constructive space for myself and those around me for a project. Great design is all about balance, and that involves everything that goes into a project.
