About

I believe good design is informed, nuanced, invisible, and uncomplicated.

 

Hi there.

I'm a designer focusing on digital experiences, brand development, and advocating for the user. I work with tons of smart people from lots of different backgrounds who make me better at what I do.

I find great pleasure in design, research, planning, illustration, branding, helping coworkers , and creating really good work.

In my spare time, I love exploring Portland by bike with my brilliant husband, Richard, and three chihuahuas, Tiger, Cosette, and Arthur. I like craft beer, peaty scotch, strong coffee, spicy pho, Mid-Century Modern furniture, European crime dramas, correct usage of em & en dashes, strength training, riding motorcycles, knitting, and music of all sorts. I dislike jargon and snakes.

Rode out to the foothills with @richard_larue this morning. We saw so many prairie dogs and encountered multiple coyote warning signs. Richard found a long hill he hated and I blew a tire (but fixed it with my brand new @rei patch kit, a perfectly ti

Happy anniversary to my guy. My forever adventure buddy and person that makes me laugh the most in this world, @richard_larue 🖤
Birthday weekend from a few weeks ago. Rented a cabin in the mountains with some lovely views and even lovelier friends.
