My Story

I’m a UX / UI designer but before I made websites, I was a scientist. I worked in a number of biology research labs and as a chemist. In 2017, I decided I wanted to learn how to design and build websites. After I made my first website, I was hooked. I went back to school and got a second bachelor’s in Web and UX.

I love making websites but when I am not behind my computer, you can usually find me outside. I love hiking, gardening, and doing yoga.
