Creatress & UX Analyst in East Coast, She/Her

About

As a Creatress, I utilize a variety of artistic mediums as vehicles of self-expression.

At work, I optimize user journeys to strengthen brand positioning & ensure experiences are on-brand, accessible, and intuitive to navigate.

On rest days, you can catch me paddling on the lake, café hopping, or watching a good ole' cooking show.
