a UX Designer with a background in digital construction management, EdTech, and content strategy.

Bio

I grew up in a suburb of Los Angeles named after Tarzan (yes, really), studied art in New York, and have lived and worked in Berlin since 2009. As a UX Generalist, I deftly jump from analysis to synthesis and back again – while always keeping users' perspectives top of mind.
