About

Experience Design, Customer & Usability Research, Agency Life, Product Design & Management, Process, Digital Native, And A Passion For “Designy Things.”

I lead the Interaction Design, User Experience Design, and eCommerce practice for the Experience Design (XD) department in Digitas’s Chicago office. I bring a passionate approach to advocating for the customer during the strategy direction, research, design, and implementation phases of digital design projects. I most recently led a mobile app re-design for Racetrac and continually optimize the website for Fortune 150 company Emerson Electric Co., and have designed digital experiences for clients such as Big Lots, The Field Museum, Cardinal Health, & Empire Today. My achievements include winning The Drum’s B2B Brave 2017 Award for “Best Enterprise Website.“ | Download my resume
