Seattle SeaHawks & Ohio State Buckeye's Fan!

I wear many hats.  I’m a dynamic and eager creative professional with widespread design experience, a strong entrepreneurial drive, with an expertise and passion for visual voice and branding. Advancing through a series of multi-faceted and highly versatile roles, I’ve maintained a commitment to staying on top of current design trends, and best practices for web presence, brand development, and identity design. 

I enjoy positioning myself as the person on the team who is comfortable doing a bit of everything and I approach each new project as a chance to learn and develop my professional abilities. For over 15 years I created and managed a series of successful online stores and that experience taught me the functions and requirements of many different roles.

I directed the full cycle of fashion design, from concept and illustration to production and manufacturing. I’ve since taken on a number of product design positions, in which I’ve proven to be consistently able to find resourceful solutions to all sorts of creative challenges.  

My super powers includes UX Design, UI Design, Branding, Visual Design, Web Content Design, E-Commerce,  Fashion, Mobile App,  SEO,  Public Relations, Social Media Marketing, Promotional Marketing and Sales.  I am a Jack / Jill of many trades.  

My tool-belt is growing and includes; Hand Sketching with Pen, Pencil, Sharpie & paper, Balsamiq, Visio, Figma, Marvel, Canva, Miro, AirTable, Slack, Calendly, Streak, Hubspot, Trello, Zoom, Go to Meeting, Microsoft Suite, Google Meet, Google Drive, Slide, Sheets, ManyChat, YouTube, Doodly, Adobe Premiere Pro and Zapier.

I possess a sharp eye for detail, which I use to find simple and elegant solutions to complex user flows.

I take pride in having cultivated strong communication skills and I’ve dependably demonstrated my ability to foster and reinforce strong professional relationships. I’m always willing to understand the point of view of others and find a way to produce winning creative output.  

 When it comes to wireframes, site maps, journey flows, illustrations and prototyping it's been mainly with pen, paper and power point.  I currently work with Figma.  Am familiar with basic Sketch and InVision.

Have produced YouTube Channels and videos.  Am focusing on visual, branding and merchandising strategy.

Currently a Volunteer at DemocracyLab working with the UX / UI team for OrcaSound, an open source small start-up.
