About
For the past 20 years, I have been creating designs and digital experiences for startups, corporations, agencies, non-profits, and public agencies. I am currently a Senior UX Design Lead and people manager at AWS in the Industry Products organization. Prior to AWS, I led product and design at Inclusivv and helped build the product design and UX research practices and teams at SalesLoft.
I was an early member of the Design Leadership Forum and their inaugural Design Ops pod. I was the proud winner of the Product Leadership Award for SalesLoft in 2019. I’ve shared my love for cycling + electronics by teaching a workshop for women and by creating Bicycle Laser Tag for the Atlanta Cycling Festival. I’ve been a guest on the Design Driven podcast, and I was a co-founder of the UX & Design for Enterprises Meetup in Atlanta.
In my spare time, I am most likely found exploring the great outdoors of the PNW on foot, bike, kayak, or skis. I enjoy photographing my adventures, which I catalog on Instagram. I also play three instruments and enjoy nerding out on data visualizations.
