Blending soft skills with design: a methodology
01
Understand
I thrive on interpersonal communication, working closely with stakeholders across departments to uncover project details, requirements, and constraints upfront. By defining the challenge and aligning on objectives, I set a clear path forward.
02
Design
With a clear understanding of the project, I develop a range of design concepts, collaborating closely with team members at each step. Ongoing feedback ensures the final design is not only polished but strategically aligned with the brand and objectives.
03
Implement
I work closely with development and product teams to ensure every detail is documented, pixel-perfect, and fully functional. Clear communication and seamless collaboration ensure we stay aligned and deliver high-quality results.
04
Measure
After launch, I track performance and user engagement as appropriate for each project, using data to inform ongoing improvements. This helps refine designs across various platforms and ensures they stay effective and aligned with brand goals.

I play roller derby and ride a Kawasaki ZX14, so I have a well-developed "send it" attitude and, perhaps, a slight death wish. But it’s not all adrenaline and chaos—I’m also the sitting President and Design Lead of my (501C3 nonprofit) roller derby league. Outside of that, I’m a long-time D&D player (every week for 5 years with the same group) and a somewhat-grudging distance runner. I’m into camping, backpacking, forestry, my adorable dog, and collecting weirdly probing icebreaker questions.
