How I work

I start by finding the thing nobody on the team fully understands — a permission model, a parking code, a chat nobody opens — and make it plain enough to decide on. I run the workshops, sketch alongside engineers, and stay through design QA.

BFA, University of Wisconsin–Stout. I've mentored junior designers along the way.
