Heyo
Here's a tiny bit about me.
I'm a product designer from Chicago. I enjoy working on problem/opportunity discovery, visual design and Framer projects, and I don't take myself too seriously.
Over the last 8 years, I've worked with companies across many industries. Some of these include Vevo, Hireology, and Sears (shop your way). Which has honestly been super valuable.
I'm a lifelong learner, random reader, and mediocre gamer. I'm currently exploring the 🌎 with my partner (and my Macbook).

Design should be intentional
I approach problems with a variety of lenses during my process, so that I'm designing with intention. Always thoughtfully considering the impact to the users. There are three values that I live by: compassion, integrity, and humility. And they guide my approach to problem-solving, collaborating, and life in general.
Design should be simple
I didn't go to a school like Stanford for HCI or Product Design. I was designing when I was fifteen, and since then I've been learning through experience.
Being self-taught, I find a generalist approach to design super important. Over the last 4.5 years I've worked in a fast-paced agency where I had to learn fast and wear a lot of hats. Really allowing me to hone in on a generalist approach.
I think product design is hyped up to be more complicated and difficult than it really is. I share the same belief as Jordan Hughes, "good design should be simple and clear with a pragmatic focus on business growth."
Using this approach along with experimentation to understand customer behavior and satisfaction, will provide success over time.
