About

With a degree in Strategic Communications from the University of Missouri-Columbia, I have cultivated a robust career in UI/UX design. Currently, I am a UI/UX Designer at USAA, where I specialize in designing and updating features, creating wireframes, and collaborating with teams to enhance user experiences. My role involves preparing screens for review, adding accessibility markup, and conducting user tests. Previously, I worked as a UX/UI Contractor with Yoh and as a UI/UX Designer at Linxup, where I honed my skills in user research and product design. My early career included roles at VIE Media as a Web Designer and Business Development Partner, where I developed websites and identified new business opportunities. My experience spans across designing intuitive interfaces and fostering client relationships, ensuring user-centered design principles are at the forefront of my work.
