Over the last 20 years, I have taken on many roles, from print design to digital communication strategist, and even digital creative director. In the past few years, I found another way to extend my passion around digital design and UX which is teaching in the classroom.

 

I am currently teaching and writing coursework for all of the digital and UX-focused courses while freelancing to continue to help my clients fulfill their digital needs. 

 

As a team lead and digital creative director, I lead all digital creative and strategic initiatives, but also included new business development, managing a team of six, and educating our on-staff print designers on how to successfully translate their skills to digital. I encourage our team to push past common solutions and to evaluate the full problem to help successfully solve our clients' needs. This is something I have brought to the classroom, making sure our students understand how to utilize testing techniques and research to find the heart of each problem they are addressing. 

​

On the personal side, I have a work hard, play hard mentality because when I'm not at work you can find me tackling life as a mother and wife. I also hold a strong passion for running and help infuse this into the next generation by helping start and coordinate our local youth running club.
