Hey there
-
My past work experience includes my five years at GrubHub Agency (previously LevelUp), where I started as a Visual Designer and ultimately became their Lead Product Designer and Developer. I designed and developed their core product offerings such as the home screen native app navigation, the Agency web SDK, branded email campaigns, time-scoped menu items UX, and so many more features and products.
I’m currently a senior product designer at the amazing Atlassian working on one of my all time favorite products, Trello! I am surrounded by the brightest of the bright and am so grateful to work on this amazing team.
I graduated from Boston University with a Bachelors of Science, majoring in advertising. It was important to me that I learned how design is solution-based and goal-based; that design is about data, briefs and specs, and not just about creating beautiful interfaces.

Non-Work Related About Me!
-
I grew up in Toronto, Canada and moved to Boston for college. I lived there for about 10 years, before upping to the sunny city of Austin, TX.
I am incredibly passionate about living a clean life and have a nontoxic alternative product recommendation for just about every aspect of life. Clean living, minimalism, and vegetarianism are my efforts to help the planet in the current state of environmental urgency.
Finally, I LOVE interior design, trying new food combinations, investing in skincare and discovering new music.
skills + WORK ETHIC
I am an insatiably curious and emotionally intelligent senior product designer who enjoys bringing enthusiasm to both my work and my team.
I pride myself on my ability to learn quickly, my drive, and my diverse skillset (of UX, visual design and development).
Having development skills and API and SDK knowledge, allows me to create data-driven designs that translate well to code. My background in UX allows me to design user-centric experiences for both individual projects and for scalable recurring revenue generating products.
philosophy
I leave things better than when I found them.
I am insatiably curious; I am doer and I am a learner.
I work wonderfully both independently and on teams.
I ask lots of questions and will stand up for the end user.
I get the job done beautifully, on point, and on time.
