With a background in entrepreneurship, data analytics, experiential curation, and journalism, I excel at synthesizing complex qualitative and quantitative data. This enables me to create inclusive, meaningful experiences that foster connection and engagement.

My work is driven by interdisciplinary approaches, including design thinking, customer experience strategy, systems thinking, and service design.

Based in Chicago and always open to new conversations.

Great designers are not just thinkers; they are doers. I excel at:

  • Translating insights into actionable ideas

  • Rapid prototyping and testing

  • Producing outputs like user flows and wireframes.

Just for Fun…

My First Hustle

My First Hustle

In college I designed and printed a t-shirt for fun and it became my first business. The graphic is a person with a mullet haircut and the lines of the face spells "mullet."

The shirt even appeared on MTV. And I used Adobe Dreamweaver to design my first website. Imagine the possibilities for us!
