I’m a Lead Experience Designer in Austin, TX at Roo.

Previously at CloudBees & Big Spaceship in Brooklyn, NY.

Why Experience Design

  • Knowledge base

    I took apart a DVD player in 7th grade to figure out how it worked with zero background knowledge. I'm clearly an engineer's daughter.

  • Inspiration

    I have deep design roots on my mother's side (4 generations worth), and James Turrell's use of light has drawn me to museums for as long as I can remember.

  • Extracurriculars

    Interior design – the tangible form of UX.
