about me

I fell in love with art from a very young age, and spent much of my free time creating, crafting, and experimenting with different materials and techniques. When it came time to picking a career, I set my passion for art aside and decided to focus on a business route, but with the knowledge that art and creativity would come back into my life down the road. 

​

I joined Deloitte as a Technology Consultant after graduating from undergrad. It was a great experience, fed my love of travel, and gave me a strong foundation. Through my career, I learned a lot about serving clients, the importance of the user experience, and valuable project management skills. When I needed to slow down on travel, I transitioned into a Program Manager role, focusing on delivering projects tied to the firm's strategic priorities. As I progressed, transforming rough concepts and ideas into concrete strategic direction, and communicating them through creative visual designs quickly became a common thread. My strength in developing strong storyboards to guide a presentation and creating an impactful, polished visual design helped many times to influence key decisions.

 

Feeling the pull to be more creative, in 2021, I started to explore the idea of a career shift by taking online classes with the UX Design Institute, and was excited by everything I was learning. In early 2023 I decided to fully commit to UI / graphic design, and I haven't looked back! I am at my best when I'm able to help develop new ideas and create visual concepts to bring them to life. Taking my past experience forward, I want to bring a strategic, user-centric mindset and the project management skills I developed with me into this next chapter to uniquely serve clients in both a strategic and visual capacity.
