I am an accomplished UX researcher and consultant with over 20 years of experience in crafting user-centric design solutions across digital markets. My passion for uncovering user insights through qualitative and quantitative research drives my approach to optimizing user experiences. With a strong background in usability testing, data analysis, and digital product strategy, I specialize in delivering actionable recommendations that support both user and business goals.

I have worked as both an internal design stakeholder and an external consultant, managing cross-functional teams and collaborating across industries. My career has taken me through diverse environments, including financial services, digital agencies, and entrepreneurial ventures. I thrive on balancing creativity with data-driven research to solve complex design challenges.

Beyond my professional work, I have used my UX skills to contribute to my local community in Lexington, NY. I have applied my research expertise to help secure broadband funding, design community surveys, and foster local engagement. From 2018 - 2024, I ran a successful restaurant business in the Catskills, leveraging my experience in design and user experience to create a stunning yet comfortable space, a friendly and convivial atmosphere and delicious food. I used my technology expertise to build efficient workflows and my previous hospitality expereince to create a positive and inclusive work culture.

Whether working independently or as part of a team, I bring a strategic approach, strong analytical skills, and a passion for creating meaningful, user-centered experiences.
