I'm a Product Designer with a passion for making the world a better place, one product at a time.
VIEW PORTFOLIODesign Skills:
During my Civic Champs internship and permanent role, I gained real-world experience designing for user experience with business and technical constraints (budget, time, standards, tech platform), creating and using a design system, collaborating with developers, and handing designs off to them.
In my marketing role, I gained a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the business surrounding the products I design. I have a practical understanding of the difference between designing a product that SELLS and one that works and looks nice.
In my research roles, I developed data analysis and research skills that I use to design well for users by empathizing and understanding their needs better.
College heavily taught the design process & techniques. Programming knowledge also allows me to communicate with developers better.
Clubs and personal work taught me how to aesthetically design and use tools (Figma, ProtoPie, etc.). For example, I designed an app called Mindful for those who suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. The app offers a sort of refuge for the user to come to until they’re ready to face the world again.
I graduated with Highest Distinction from Indiana University - Bloomington with a degree in Informatics with a minor in Human-Centered Computing.
I've lived in Illinois (Chicago), Northern Italy, Northern & Southern Indiana, and Northern and Southern Washington.
Hobbies include: sewing, embroidering, running, hiking, camping, reading, and hanging out at coffee shops.
My favorite font is always changing but is currently...
My favorite color is also always changing but is currently dark green like the footer below.
I play the violin and piano. My favorite orchestra piece is The Hebrides (Fingal's Cave) by Mendelssohn - I love how he's able to describe a cave through music.
