Here's the work spiel.

I've spent the last two years researching and designing a variety of web products at the University of Michigan Library with a serious focus on accessibility and design systems. Our web products are the gold standard for university libraries across the country.

I've managed user research projects, launched features and total site redesigns as the sole designer on the team, and co-founded a web analytics service team to help product teams make data-informed decisions.

I also provide brand, graphic, and web design services to entrepreneurs and small businesses, helping them create a professional and trustworthy online presence.

My expertise

I’m a creative with a strong background in the technical details of digital design. That means making designs that aren’t just beautiful — they’re also accessible, user-friendly, and they look great on every device.

Designing for libraries

After earning a degree in UX Design, I joined the University of Michigan Library as a UI/UX Designer & Researcher.


I became an expert in creating time- and effort-saving reusable designs for folks of all design abilities — helping my colleagues create professional-looking stuff built with templates & repeatable components.

Designing for small businesses

I want to help local businesses thrive! In addition to my work at the library, I began using my design skills to support solo business owners who are managing, well, the business — and an online presence on top of it.


I've created logos, brand identities, websites, graphics, and reusable design systems for entrepreneurs and businesses to help them grow.

Now you can really get to know me.

Being upside down is the best. This former theater kid found her new thing to never shut up about.

Baker

I'm a baker on hard mode. After discovering I have celiac disease, I've been on a mission to recreate my favorite baked goods gluten free - and they taste even better.

Yeah, I'm a lady. Who LOVES being outside! Hiking, biking, camping, swimming, just sitting in grass - count me in.

I've been taking classes for a year and making tons of wobbly pots that only my mother could love.
