Design that closes the loop

Growing up in the late 90s and early 00s, my first foray into 'design' was Neopets. I used to spend hours designing and coding my "petpages" with fanciful CSS. Was usability top-of-mind for me? No, but it opened my eyes to coding as a medium to convey ideas.

Before graduating with a degree in psychology from the University of Washington, I knew I wanted to do something practical to combine my love of social science with technology, and web development and design felt like the perfect path forward for me. I began freelancing by creating websites for local businesses and working at a local web design & development agency before going back to school to officially pursue a degree in design at Seattle Central.

For over the past decade I've been fortunate to work in nascent technology spaces, helping shape how we as humans can leverage emerging tech to fuel creativity, efficiency, and the kind of innovation that keeps technology firmly in the service of people.
