A Bit About Me
I'm a UX Designer who uses empathy as the foundation for every project.
​
As a scenic artist, I met with clients and helped bring their ideas into reality. I designed, built, and installed sets and props, meeting with clients regularly to ensure a successful deliverable. As a UX Designer, I am bringing my skills into the digital realm.
​
I completed Springboard's UX Design Career Course and hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Digital Entertainment Technology from Abilene Christian University.
​
When I'm not brushing up on my skills in Sketch or Figma, you can find me with a Switch in my hand, a dog by my side, and a cat in my lap.

UX Designer | Riff
I was a freelance UX designer with Riff for a five-week project. During that time, I collaborated with designers and stakeholders to redesign the onboarding process for one of their products. We brainstormed, designed, prototyped, and tested a possible solution.
Scenic Artist | C. Scenic
I worked and was trained by company owners in a dual capacity as a scenic artist and admin. My position consisted of everything from meeting with clients, research, proposals, design, fabrication, and installation, updating social media & our website, and maintaining company and job records.
I designed props for several projects, including two successful pop-up bars. I contributed in fabrication to all projects while at C. Scenic. I often, in conjunction with the owners, met with clients and also led client relations for one of our significant, annual holiday jobs.
Event Leader | Bottle & Bottega
As an event leader, I was an artist and entertainer. Beyond technical art skills, the position required the ability to simplify the complex and communicate and present to large parties.
I led several group events both on- and off-site, as well as, assisted with our extra-large corporate bookings.
