Research, ideate, prototype, and evaluate.

Hello…

I’m an experienced designer and researcher with a background in usability evaluation, web and print design, and user interface design. I’m not currently looking for work, but always open to new opportunities.

I graduated from University of Michigan, Ann Arbor with a Master of Science in Information specializing in Human-Computer Interaction at the School of Information. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Boise State University in 2007, where I worked on numerous research projects in health and personality psychology.
