About Me
Design, color psychology, and typography always came naturally to me. It makes perfect sense that my curiosity and passion for creativity led me to a career focused on developing solutions to intricate problems. My professional journey has taken me from Production Assistant and Print Designer through Senior Web Designer and UI/UX Team Leader. This progression has equipped me with the skills to assess situations from various angles. When you combine that with my emphasis on fostering meaningful relationships, teamwork, empathy, and a good sense of humor, you get a glimpse of my current role as a Senior UI/UX Designer.
I created and led an innovative Ergonomic Wellness team at VSE Inc., assisting colleagues with solutions to improve their wellbeing while working. Our team, upon request, would perform an evaluation of their work habits that were contributing to their physical discomfort. Solutions ranged from glare reduction caused by overhead lighting to desktop modifications such as standing desk risers and keyboard trays. Cubicles are one size fits all, right? Not really… simply adding a ream or two of copy paper under your monitor can provide great relief!
When tackling problems, it’s easy to get caught up in overthinking. I’ve discovered that mindfulness is a crucial role in helping me navigate this challenge during the creative process. Taking a break refreshes my mind, ignites fresh ideas, and provides a better perspective on the way ahead.
Mindfulness has also enabled me to assist others in their healing journeys. For more than a decade, I have been practicing Shiatsu, Reiki, and Crystal energy healing techniques. By engaging in hands-on bodywork, I help clients let go of stress, enhance their relaxation, and revitalize their life energy. It’s truly amazing work led by the power of my heart.Â
