Who I am
I grew up near Ann Arbor, MI, and graduated from Michigan State University with a BA in Experience Architecture, a degree that encompassed graphic, user experience, and web design. With five years of web design and development experience, I currently work as a web designer for eSkillz Corp. creating and developing digital experiences for learning management systems such as Cornerstone and Docebo. Additionally, I own a graphic and web design business called Fusion Form helping clients with custom websites, branded graphics and more.
In my time outside working, I enjoy watching Manchester United games, playing guitar, exploring new places (the most recent being Italy), trying unique restaurants, perfecting my espresso shots, and feeding lettuce to my two rabbits.
How I work
From experience both from college projects and client work, I have found that an iterative design process works the best for not only fully understanding a client’s vision but also creating a product that is user-centric. My web and UI projects follow an agile workflow and begin with a discovery phase, which unveils the problem that needs to be solved or required items. Next, a cycle of wire-framing and prototyping takes place to define the appearance of the digital experience.
I currently live and work remotely in Grand Rapids, MI, and have collaborated in over 50 design projects in my current role.
