Based in Palatine, IL
I became a designer after starting my career in ecommerce product management and digital marketing analytics. My education is in psychology and business and I've also done a design boot camp and Nielsen Norman Group certification. I’ve worked solo and on small teams in orgs as small as 15 people and as large as 100,000. Research, UI, prototyping, management, I've done it all!

He is very insightful and intentional about how he works in the industry, which is very inspiring to me as I think about the ways that I want to create products that support diverse communities. Appreciate this new connection.”
