I’m a Northern Virginia–based UX/UI designer and visual storyteller with a passion for crafting beautiful, intuitive digital experiences that connect design, branding, and user experience.
My love for design started early after discovering the web and dreaming of becoming a Disney Imagineer — creating immersive, memorable experiences for the most magical place on earth, Disney World. That inspiration shaped the way I approach design today: blending creativity, emotion, visual identity, and usability into experiences people genuinely enjoy using.
After earning my Master of Science degree in User Experience Design, I began my professional UX career at CACI International in 2015, where I designed and helped modernize digital experiences for mission-focused applications. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong passion for visual design systems, branding, typography, color, layout, and creating polished interfaces that bring clarity and personality to complex products.
I thrive at the intersection of UX, branding, and front-end design — turning ideas into visually cohesive experiences that feel modern, engaging, and thoughtfully crafted.
Outside of design, I love spending time with my husband and three kids, focusing on fitness and wellness, appreciating the outdoors, and exploring new places and experiences.
Read what others have to say about me + my work.
The skills and views I gained throughout my career have supported my role as a UX/UI designer.
All my experiences have taught me empathy and have allowed me to serve in a variety of roles contributing to the creation of the optimal experience for the end user:
Every problem solicts a unique solution.
My design process begins with understanding both the user and the business goals behind the product. I collaborate closely with stakeholders to gather requirements, identify pain points, define the target audience, and understand the context in which the experience will be used.
Through research, discovery, and analysis, I work to uncover the core problem before exploring possible solutions. Throughout the process, I continuously evaluate ideas to ensure they align with user needs, business objectives, usability, and overall experience goals.
Once a direction begins to take shape, I move into ideation and low-fidelity exploration through sketching, user flows, and wireframes to help visualize structure, functionality, and interaction patterns.
From there, I transition into high-fidelity design using tools such as Figma, Adobe XD, and Adobe Illustrator, incorporating research findings, accessibility considerations, and visual design principles into the experience.
As the foundation is established, I focus on crafting the overall visual language and “look and feel” of the product. This often includes mood boards, brand exploration, typography, color systems, and visual direction to ensure a cohesive and engaging experience. I typically explore multiple design concepts and mockups collaboratively with stakeholders to align on a shared vision before moving forward.
After design approval, I create interactive prototypes for testing, feedback, and validation. The experience continues to evolve through iterative refinement, usability testing, and collaboration until the final solution is polished, validated, and ready for development.
