I am an UX designer who creates user-centered design solutions that are simple, intuitive, and visually appealing.
I used to work at McGraw Hill as a QA Specialist, testing things as big as end-to-end testing of a platform redesign to things as small as making sure certain special characters weren't breaking the form fields. I gained valuable experience in ensuring product quality, working with tight deadlines, and gaining insight into how the cogs of the tech industry come together.
I'm excited about adding a creative spin to my previous work experience. Instead of trying to break things, I am creating things.
When I'm not designing user experiences and UIs, I enjoy designing elaborate evening gowns (I made my wedding dress!), knitting and crocheting yarn crafts, playing video games, and lounging around with my 2 cats - Muffin and Pumpkin Spice Latte.
