Staff UX Manager | Seattle, WA | 2014 - 2022

Senior Interaction Designer | Seattle, WA | 2012-2014
My years at frog taught me a lot about being scrappy, inventive and adapting to different project climates and customer types. The years there filled professional gaps of mine in with excellent career lessons by working extremely closely with a dream team of studio mates in both Seattle and in the San Francisco office. During my time at frog I led Interaction Design on numerous projects ranging from corporate websites to automotive UX to multi-channel digital strategy for Fortune 500 clients.
Art Director | Redmond, WA | 2011 - 2012
I worked in the Microsoft Startup Group Incubator on a conceptual Windows 8 application called “Fresh Paint.” During my time on the Redmond campus, I was responsible for providing art direction, interaction specs, wireframes, synthesizing qualitative usability study data into design requirements for product revision cycles managing the relationship with the offshore prototype development team.
In a business unit where most projects never shipped, our team was able to launch Fresh Paint to the public in early 2013 where it was downloaded more than 1 million times in it’s first quarter of availability.
