DESIGNER + AUTHOR + DRUMMER
designer
UX, product, and graphic designer, marketing and content strategist at OddBird. A Certified Object-Oriented UX (OOUX) strategist and mentor.
Since 2014, I’ve been the lead designer at OddBird web design and development agency – spearheading the design process through brand and UX design, content strategy and usability testing. I have also lead the marketing teams for a variety of small businesses, and acted as co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer of a personal care products manufacturing startup where I coordinated multiple crowdfunding campaigns that reached over 200% of their goal.
drummer
Since 2012, I’ve been touring, drumming, and generally rocking out with Teacup Gorilla. Check out our award-winning music video of Just Like That, for a sneak peek and a very life-like robot. And our Jane Eyre queer gothic rock original score.
