Exploring how modern intuition affects how we engage with our digital surroundings.
I am a Digital Experience Design/Art Director, living in Southern California, from sunny Portland, Oregon. Currently, I spend my days leading and designing Web Experiences for a variety of clients at Kettle. Before that, I was leading UX and Web Design at onX for onxmaps.com. Before that, I was at Nike WHQ designing digital experiences for Global Brand Design. Before that, I created digital experiences for the Nike Explore Team (NXT). Before that, I contributed to Global and North American Digital Brand Design teams at Nike. Before that, I helped lead digital design efforts at Cinco Design. And before that, I cut my teeth at Razorfish.
I find success in a good laugh, try not to take myself too seriously, make a mean chocolate chip cookie, stupid-good pizza, and can hold my own at the Ping Pong table/soccer field/basketball court/wood shop/river fly fishing.
In 2007, I graduated with a BFA in Graphic Design from Pacific Northwest College of Art. In a previous life, I also received two Bachelor degrees in Photography and Psychology from Purdue University... its complicated.

Intangible
Empathy is my superpower. As an experience designer, understanding how an individual will see and use the experience is crucial. It also allows me to work proactively with internal teams, addressing and managing expectations, building positive culture and understanding the needs of my team more fully.
enjoyable
Extracurricular activity. Beyond my normal design work, I actively participate in DE&I efforts, I volunteer for a couple of non-profits, dabble in woodworking, and have recently become passionate about fly fishing and fly-tying. I also enjoy a good laugh, a good coffee, and can hold my own at the Ping Pong table. And my chocolate chip cookie is better than your chocolate chip cookie.
