15 years into my creative journey, I’m as intrigued as ever. I’ve gained invaluable experience at Fortune 500 companies including Amazon and Microsoft, global agencies, and wear-all-hats startups. From B2B to B2C, tech to entertainment and gaming; all fascinating in their own light. I thrive on the process of creating, diving into the user journey, and collaborating with all types of roles including fellow designers, c-suites, engineers, marketing gurus, and project managers to create user-centric designs that yield high-conversion rates and profits.
Random Facts:
I have a flufftastic goldendoodle named Butter.
My childhood vacations consisted solely of road trips to Vancouver Canada and Oregon, which fostered hours of daydreaming (probably about Disneyland) and drawing. I was often heads down reading books or writing my own.
My first DSLR purchase quickly and unintentionally turned into a professional wedding photography business within months. My work graced high-traffic sites with over 1 million followers including Style Me Pretty and Junebug Weddings. My favorite aspects included destination weddings to the California coast to photograph beautiful venues. And wedding cake.
