About
Designer. Happy to be here.
Work Experience
Working on various client projects in graphic and digital product design. The scope of services offered has included, brand identity design, brand collateral design, website design, and digital product design. My recurring clients in this time have been Kirstin Childs, Do, Vue Robotics, and Building Restoration Services.
Swivu is a scheduling + planning software that Building Restoration Services is currently developing. My work included prototyping new features, developing and maintaining a scalable design system in Figma, and working to continuously streamline the design to code hand-off and implementation between design and development.
Worked as a Freelance Designer on multiple behavioral health products at Grit. The projects have focused on synthesizing existing user research and insights to generate solutions that generate more impact for their target users.
Contracted work for a local non-profit arts organization in Boulder, Colorado.
