My Creative Career Began as a Fine Artist in NY
I’m a life-long artist who’s been making things since I was a kid. I mostly create for myself but, my biggest commission yet was a replica of the Creation of Adam for a local restaurant.
I enjoy experimenting with various styles that blend my love for graphic design, digital illustrations, and traditional mediums like oils, arcylic, and my utlimate favorite, portrait charcoal drawings or figure drawings.
From Apprentice to UX Researcher @IBM
My introduction to the UX Design & Research world was through my studies at Cornish College of the Arts. My classmates and I took on a project called Intermodality —sponsored by TEAGUE, a product design agency based in Seattle. For seven weeks, we worked in-studio under the apprenticeship of their Technical Director.
Currently, I’m a UX Researcher for IBM artificial intelligence. As part of the AI on IBM Z Mainframe Design Team, I collaborate with product managers, developers and designers throughout the AI product development lifecycle. In this pic, I'm facilitating a 2025 hybrid roadmap planning workshop for IBM’s flagship AI product, Machine Learning for IBM z/OS. We call it MLz.
Currently Based in Colorado!
This is my husband and I, visiting Bryce National Park. Our goal is to camp in all the U.S. National Parks. 20 out of 60+ to go!
Back in May, we adopted a puppy from a shelter. His name is Atlas! We take him on our camping trips too.
