    User Experience Designer, American Express

    Phoenix

    I'm a user experience designer whose mission is to design products humans love to use. I do this through research, empathy, visual design, prototyping, usability testing, and iteration.

    I was led here through my experience working directly with end users as a software consultant. I had constant desire to improve the users' experience through user feedback and real world scenarios. Now, fortunately, I get to represent the user in my designs and craft a delightful experience before and after the product reaches their monitor or phone.

    I've designed web-based dashboards and reports, an internal database management webapp, an internal web based automation application, a web-based mobile app, and a couple websites.

    I enjoy solving and simplifying complex problems that result in intuitive products for the people using them, and getting my Masters in UX Design is helping to sharpen my skills and my ability to do so.

    In my free time I play volleyball, enjoy whiskey, and hang out with the best pup in the world, Millie.
