Welcome
I am a User Experience Designer making my way through the world one informed decision at a time. This site houses some of my recent professional work. My experience spans industries including finance, big box retail, automotive logistics and sales, and more. Each project has helped me develop an appreciation for the design process and its execution across complex systems.
I also vent my creative energies by designing my own custom Lego sets. So you may see some of those on here, as well.
I'm on the right
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Lead UX Product Architect

At Cox Automotive, I worked to redefine quality user experience within multiple industry-leading platforms. I pushed services in new directions and refined work processes to address customer needs. I solved complex problems to deliver the best possible solutions.
As a proponent of continued learning and critical thinking, I led a cross-disciplinary book club to explore and discuss design in a broad sense. I also sat on a company-wide design system governance board to help oversee its upkeep and refinement in order to help the broader experience design community within the company.

Kennesaw State University, Technical Communication & Interactive Design

I joined KSU’s TCID program as a part-time professor to help guide the next generation of designers as they enter an industry that is evolving faster than ever before. My goal was to prepare them for the real-world trials they will face as they enter a complex professional environment and to make them better, more aware both as people and as designers.

While at Home Depot I worked to refine and improve two of Home Depot’s enterprise-level systems.

My other project helped capture and prosecute criminals, assisting in fraud cases at the state and federal levels.
