With over a decade of creative experience, I design polished, intuitive user interfaces that balance visual clarity with real world usability. My background spans aerospace, defense, publishing, and entertainment, from AR and VR training tools for the U.S. Navy to data driven applications for the USDA. I plan and conduct user interviews and surveys to uncover pain points, translating qualitative and quantitative insights into clear personas and practical design decisions. I create high fidelity, responsive designs in Figma for desktop, tablet, and mobile, following WCAG accessibility standards and responsive design best practices. I work closely with product managers and engineers to ensure pixel perfect implementation, and I am comfortable collaborating within Agile teams through sprint planning, backlog grooming, and daily stand ups. My work is informed by usability testing, product data, and a strong visual storytelling sensibility, ensuring interfaces not only look refined but support clarity, speed, and performance.
