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.
