Product Designer

About me

I've always made things. Whether it was hand-making my own paper or building my first website on Geocities at 13, I've always been a maker.

My passion is interaction design and storytelling. I bring my teams' ideas to life through design, and I love what I do. I'm currently a Staff Product Designer at Reverb, the world's largest marketplace and app for buying and selling musical instruments. I've delivered winning strategies and experiences for companies like Mural, Dell, AT&T, and regional organizations in Texas.

My education and career started in visual art, design and writing at RISD. I found myself drawn to the impact potential of user experience design and how it can make people's lives easier. I completed my MFA in Design at the University of Texas here in Austin in 2014. I've been living, working, and taco-trucking here ever since.

I am a lifelong learner and teacher. I've mentored designers for 6+ years, including through Dell's internal new-grad bootcamp and Pathrise's career development fellowship. I've self-published and been featured in UX Collective.
‍
Outside of work, creativity and nature keep me energized. My husband is a musician and synth repair tech, and together we run Double Heart Audio. We have a cat named Damo and a passion for art and music. We're outdoors enthusiasts who've hiked and kayaked in 8 US states, 6 countries, and 3 continents. But my favorite mountains are right here in Texas.
