I’m a Lead Product Designer based in Buffalo, Minnesota with 20 years of experience. From 2004 - 2020ish - I worked for enterprise companies such as Best Buy, US Bank, TCF Bank, Ameriprise Financial and Microsoft. After 2020, the past 5 years, I’ve worked as a full time senior product designer, and lead product design consultant, for 6+ startups helping design new 0-1 products.

All of my work has been for SaaS digital products, mostly responsive design with a couple native app projects. Industries have been primarily fintech, with ecommerce, medtech, automotive and others sprinkled in.

I love solving complex problems. Sounds cliché, I know, but I geek out over organizing data and creating solutions that are easy to digest with data visualization, content and actionable insights. My design style is timeless and minimalist with a focus on reducing clicks and friction (don’t make users think). Relationships and connections matter to me, so does being a high performer, communicating well, being proactive and forward driven, while being lighthearted and having fun. I call it good “team feng shui” because, IMO, when teams are in harmony together, the work flows easily and effortlessly (ha, hopefully).

When I’m not working, I’m hanging with my 3 kiddos and hubby, gardening outside, planning our next adventure (Disney again!!), lounging in the pool and playing frisbee with my pups.
