My 1st user interface and user experience job was at one of the internet's 1st job distribution networks and 1st SaaS applicant tracking systems. I also designed career websites, projects for sales and marketing, events, and training. Finally, I established and managed partnerships integrations for the network. Eventually, growing a diverse team. Nevertheless, my design interest started while I managed food experiences at a variety of food establishments. Here I designed recipes, meals, menus, promos, etc. Additionally, I used research methods such as one-on-one conversations, comment cards, surveys, and food committees to solve problems. In my free time, I designed and wrote newsletters to communicate what was happening.

Now, driven by passion, not caffeine, I enjoy researching, planning, and designing apps, websites, and more with a 360° view of business, team members, and independently. The goal is to solve problems, enhance functionality, and innovate.
