A bit about myself...

From Illinois to now the heart of San Francisco, my core has midwest values and ethics and my mind has big city dreams. My passion for design started at a young age with a pencil and sketchbook always in hand, which led me to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in receiving my bachelor of Landscape Architecture. I have had some amazing opportunities designing for all types of clients and have had some of my designs published. Feeling fully accomplished in landscape architecture, I decided to branch out and I discovered my true passion is in UX/UI design! I really enjoy the challenges that a comes with being a UX/UI Desiger. Being able to create intuative, enjoyable designs for so many people in our changing technical world is exciting, fun and rewarding.
