Just a Glimpse…

I’m a senior UX designer and strategist who begins every project with a conversation. By listening for the stories behind user frustrations and understanding the constraints stakeholders face, I turn messy inputs into priorities everyone can rally around. From there I settle into a flow state where pixels, micro-interactions, and copy knit together until the bigger picture emerges. Time and again in my career, this combination of deep listening and clear vision has driven better outcomes for both users and the business.

For the past few years I have been enjoying how AI helps my hands keep pace with my thoughts. It turns mind maps into crisp outlines, scattered notes into clear insights, and drafts wireframes that teams can review a couple of days sooner than before. I treat it like a thoughtful design partner, exchanging ideas while making sure no personal data ever enters the mix. The collaboration feels both efficient and playful. For example, every icon in the navigation menu and on the Features page came from an AI co-design sprint that produced a cohesive set after just a couple of days and left me free to polish the final details.

When I step away from the work, you will find me chasing sunrise ridgelines with a camera, searching for the perfect treat after a paddle-board session, or fine-tuning multi-color prints on my 3D rigs in here in Minneapolis. These moments of exploration and tinkering refill the curiosity and precision I bring to every project.
