About Me
I am passionate about optimizing the digital user experience. There is nothing worse than working hard on a digital product that no one ends up using.
I involve the user from the outset of all projects through to completion and continuously refine their needs along the way. With my combined background in product and project management and web development, I am uniquely suited to getting the user experience right and the product complete on time.
I thrive when collaborating on a team doing mission-based work.
