I specialize in crafting visually compelling, intuitive digital products and mobile apps that people genuinely enjoy using. My background spans graphic design, UX/UI design, art direction, and product design across both agency and corporate environments. I've successfully shipped work across financial services, healthcare, hospitality, restaurant, retail, and tech, all grounded in solid research and a genuine curiosity about what makes users tick.

My approach is a human-centered design that not only looks good but also solves problems. Strong visual craft is at the core of everything I do, whether that's building polished UI systems, designing high-fidelity mobile interfaces, or bringing a brand's visual identity to life across digital touchpoints. I believe the best work happens when sharp aesthetics and disciplined design thinking work together, supported by clear communication across teams.

My career has taken me across genuinely varied and interesting terrain. On the agency side, I've led art direction and created brand, web, and digital experiences for clients spanning hospitality, restaurants, and many franchise brands. On the corporate side, I've led mobile UI design at U.S. Bank, crafted flagship web experiences at Xcel Energy and Thrivent, and built design systems at Ameriprise and worked on large-scale healthcare marketing at Optum. I’ve also mentored aspiring designers at Springboard, which keeps me sharp and connected to where the field is heading.

My BFA in Graphic Design from UW-Stout gave me a strong visual and conceptual foundation. From there, it's been continuous learning across the full design toolkit, from visual design and UX/UI craft to prototyping, accessibility, and the AI tools reshaping how we work.
