Perpetually-curious problem solver creating accessibility-led functional design that delights.
I’m an ex-healthcare-admin designer, writer, researcher, and all-around creative. Truthfully, I’ve always been a designer, I just didn’t always know it. It’s been an adventure to get here; one that’s provided me with countless learning opportunities, endless curiosity, and unique perspectives. I am always asking questions, trying to learn new things, and doing what I can to meet both the needs and wants of the folks on either side of the design.
