Howdy. I'm a hybrid UX architect and visual designer, with more than 20 years of humanizing web experiences. I am currently working full time with VSA Partners in Chicago and unavailable for additional work.

UX architecture has been my focus for the last five years, but I am well-versed in brand strategy and marketing needs and understand the creative friction that brings experiences alive.

well-versed in complexity and collaboration – and a proponent of usability, honesty, and warmth in our most meaningful interactions

I have a successful track record in a range of roles – from managing delivery and resources, to designing and mentoring within enterprise, agile, and ideation teams.

I've had the privilege of working with exceptionally talented and thoughtful practitioners over the years, which has helped me develop skills integral to UX, as well as in copywriting and front-end development.

motivated but detail-oriented · passionate but patient · broadly curious but focused

My visual design work has been featured in The Chicago Show, The One Show, the Mohawk Show, Graphis, and Print's Regional Design Annual.

Over the last 20 years I have traveled, photographed, scavenged, and cycled in some fascinating places all over the world – and I look forward to sharing many more offbeat travel experiences with my daughter.
