I'm a UXer with a graphic design and quality assurance background. I thrive on bridging gaps whether it’s between people, concepts, or processes. Figuring out ways to make everyday issues more efficient, easier-to-use, and less stressful is a something I’m constantly doing. I believe persuasive design is the underlying component of UX design. I hold a Master’s in Interaction Design and Information Architecture from the University of Baltimore and I’m the founder of exploreUX, a Meetup for UX enthusiasts. Outside of work, I love scuba diving, vintage scooters, and ska music.
