About

Designer, developer, hiker, plant parent, & sci-fi nerd

I’m a Louisville-based designer/developer with 5 years of experience creating human-centered products and websites. I graduated summa cum laude with my BFA in graphic design from University of Louisville in 2020. Since graduating, I have worked on over 50 products, websites, and brands as a designer or developer (or both!), and I currently work as a senior product designer at Humana.



Although my experience spans local agencies, large companies, startups, and non-profits alike, my favorite projects have been those that aim to leave the world a better place than we found it.



Outside of work, I try to apply the same passion I have for designing to the things I do in my free time, whether that’s hiking, painting, or taking care of [probably too many] plants. I also spend a lot of time learning; I find I get the most out of life if I approach it with curiosity.
