About

With a BFA in Service Design from Savannah College of Art and Design, I have cultivated a robust career in user experience and product design. As a Senior UX Strategist at Lafayette American, I spearheaded digital strategy initiatives, enhancing client satisfaction and optimizing resource allocation. Notably, I launched the Ram Revolution campaign, significantly contributing to production funding and market readiness. My tenure at Detroit Labs as a Product Designer involved leading design efforts for a product vertical, enhancing the auto financing process on Driveway.com, and fostering cross-functional team alignment. At Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., I developed an iOS application that improved task management for stateroom attendants, boosting efficiency and customer satisfaction. My freelance work with Spacely allowed me to explore brand concepts for an artist collective. My expertise lies in creating user-centric solutions that drive engagement and innovation across diverse industries.
