Senior UX Designer / UX Researcher / UX Writer
I'm a strategic design thinker, creative problem solver, and user experience champion who utilizes interaction design to simplify tasks and create purposeful, frictionless user experiences. I'm also a life-long learner and am constantly updating my skill set. I am based in Chicago and I am currently a Senior User Experience Designer at Foot Locker.
For the last 8 years I have been heavily steeped in the world of e-commerce, mainly focusing on the cart and checkout process. In past positions I have worked on everything from full site redesigns to mobile apps and mWeb sites, as well as dashboards and client portals. I have worked on projects for BMW, Allstate, Rewards Network, Miller-Coors, Sears, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Delta Airlines, Whirlpool, Home Depot and Coca-Cola.
In October of 2022, I became a certified UX Writer through the UX Content Collective.
In my spare time I like to travel to exotic destinations (Zanzibar, Cambodia, Pamplona), ride my Steve McQueen Triumph motorcycle, and play my Taylor guitar. I also enjoy writing article on all things UX, and you can follow me on Medium here. I am an official writer for seven Medium publications including UX Collective and Digital Diplomacy.
