Passion

I discovered my passion for creating impactful products during my hospitality career, where I utilized POS Systems and Client Management Systems. Exceptional products inspired me, while challenging ones motivated me to be where I am today.

Perserverence

I've moved abroad with no plan after touchdown. I've moved to a ski town despite never seeing snow before. I crave a challenge and love digging through the mud to solve problems.

Empathy

My past experiences have built my empathy, respect, and understanding of people, places, and technology.

People-Person

I'm a people person, my friends say I can talk to a wall. So, let's talk and build products that people actually want.

Beyond the world of design and tech, you can find me rallying on the tennis court, walking on the beach with my dogs, and cycling to some reggaeton beats on a spin bike. Above all, I never turn down an opportunity to kick my adventurous side into gear, pack my bags, and explore the beauty of the world beyond the four corners of my laptop.

I was lucky to be paired with Carly as her design mentor throughout her journey in Designlab. For over six months we worked together, meeting once a week, reviewing her work and talking about her process. Carly impressed me with how quick she would pick up skills and integrate my feedback into her work. Because she has traveled so much and experienced so many different environments, she's agile and adaptable, knows how to understand what it's needed from her context and think of creative solutions for any obstacle or problem. She has developed really strong visual, creative and analytical skills that makes her a great generalist UX Designer. Moreso, her background in Information Systems give her the ability to think critically and holistically. Anyone would be lucky to have her on her team.
