04 // ABOUT ME

I draw from an academic foundation in Human Factors as well as rich 'life experiences' prior to my career in design that fuels my curiosity to solve the challenges of the customer.

A diversity of experiences that drives my obsession with understanding the motivations of the customer.

From perfecting the art of customer service as a UPS driver to journeying to the North Pole underneath the arctic ice via nuclear submarine, my varied experiences before, during, and after college formed my career in Design + UX and I'm blessed to draw upon these experiences as I solve the needs and challenges of the customer. 

I have always been driven by the principle that to understand someone, you must walk a mile in their shoes. As a result, I've never shied away from experiences that have taken me outside my comfort zone. My diversity of experiences has made me appreciate the plurality of motivations that drives peoples and has led me to a deep respect and understanding of their values, needs and behaviors. This ethic has flovored my approach to research design and helped me be successful in defining and building products that bring real value to people's lives.

Community Outreach

As a longtime volunteer and board member of the Midtown Educational Foundation (MEF) I had the opportunity to arrange  for BMW Technology to host Chicago's Metro Achievement Center for Girls Engineering Apprenticeship Program. Metro Achievement Center for Girls and Midtown Center for Boys are after school programs operating under the Midtown Educational Foundation (MEF). As an MEF voliunteer and mentor and member of the Midtown Advancement Council I had the opportunity to arrange the event which sought to introduce the Apprenticeship Program to careers in technology and project management.

Bio

I have 10 yrs experience creating usable and useful online experiences for clients in a range of industries, most recently at BMW Technology as UX Lead where I helped design, test and bring to market the all-new My BMW app, recently launched in 43 markets across the globe. I have a unique skill set of design strategy, user research, information architecture, user interface design and usability testing. I lead client and project teams from ambiguity to clarity by setting direction that combines user, business, and development goals.

Prior to my career in Design, I served a tour of duty in the U.S. Navy as a submarine-qualified electronics technician aboard the USS Hawkbill (SSN-666) and USS Helena (SSN-725).

I have a bachelor's degree in Graphic Design from Columbia College and a master's degree in Human-Computer Interaction from Depaul University. In my free time I enjoy travelling, backpacking, DIY projects, stock trading and spending time with my 4 nephews.
