Beyond the work · Minneapolis–St. Paul, MN
I'm a UX designer and researcher with 10+ years of experience in software. I connect user research, design systems, and accessibility with a front-end engineering background—so thoughtful designs are also practical to build.
At Patterson Companies, I worked on dental software, interviewing users, facilitating stakeholder workshops, and turning research into workflows in Figma. Earlier, as a senior software engineer, I built shared components and production interfaces. Across both roles, I helped teams make accessibility part of their everyday work through training, audits, and collaboration with QA.
I'm also an owner of the Naughty Bawdy Brigade performing company. Creating our first website brought together audience research and a business owner's perspective—a project where I could connect the questions, the design, and the outcome.
