User experience designer based out of Regina, Sk, Canada.
My journey in the tech industry started with working for GasBuddy — the app that gives you more ways and more places to save on gas than any other app — for 10 years. Since then I’ve transitioned and matured into being an Experience Consultant at the world’s #1 CRM: Salesforce.
In my spare time I am a complete and utter binge watcher, a hobbyist on the drums, and shoot pool in an amateur pool league.
Yes, my favourite colour is purple.
Ask me about my cats (please).
Expertise
UI Design
Need a user interface built for your dashboard, website, or mobile app? You can expect high fidelity mockups and prototypes from me by wielding applications and tools such as Sketch, Illustrator, Photoshop, Figma, and InVision. Let’s build component libraries, and iterate on things together.
UX Design
Producing a great looking interface is only half the job. What happens if the user does this, or that? How are they feeling and what are they thinking? Anyone who knows me knows that I advocate for and empathize with users. Missing edge cases is never okay when it comes to delivering a big picture.
User Research
Writing skip logic into user surveys can be a pain in the butt, but I’ve been there. Usability testing your designs only to find out something tanked is nothing to get upset over: That’s how we make things better before they get worse. I may be shy, but I’m personable, and that really helps when gathering feedback from your friends – the users.
Micro-Interactions & Animation
Whether you’re favouriting or saving something for later, accomplishing goals and getting a reward, or feel like a design needs a little extra somethin’ somethin’ – All I need is After Effects and a Bodymovin plugin to deliver delightful, lightweight Lottie animations for the web or native apps.
