ABOUT ME

My mission is to use design as a tool to improve lives and empower users.

Before I officially transitioned into the design world, I worked as a personal trainer and a strength & conditioning coach for ten years. Early in my career, I came across a passage in a book that completely changed my perspective on what it meant to be a coach…

“… The role of the teacher, coach, or trainer is to act, not as a manager of information or sets or reps, but as an experiential designer. As such, our goal is to create experiences that are rich, not just in content, but in participation and meaning.”

It was such a powerful lesson to learn that I made it a point to approach every class, training session, and seminar I led through the lens of the experiential designer - always meeting people where they are. Coaching taught me about user-centered design before I ever knew what it was.

Now I’m passionate about creating thoughtful and delightful digital experiences and solving complex problems through my design work.
