As a UX designer, I specialize in original content creation, strategic communication planning, and UI design based in Denton, Texas — Dallas–Fort Worth region. I am also an artist, decorator and self-proclaimed food critic. Although I'm mostly trained and knowledgeable regarding UX, I truly have a passion for design that spans many disciplines.

A “golden hour” sunset view of a tree-lined coastal shore in northwestern Washington. The title of the project is set as a headline in front of this image, reading “A systems thinking approach to European Green Crab management.” This work depicts a small portion of my work on a team-based, systems thinking approach to co-managing the threats posed by an aquatic invasive species in northwestern Washington state. My teammates and I collaborated with tribal leaders from the Lummi Native American Nation to realize these outcomes. Profitable utilization of tribal resources was a key consideration.
