About

I currently specialize in creating business-facing interfaces. Outside of my work life, I seek to create unique and interesting consumer-facing experiences that deepen peoples' relationships with the non-digital world.

      The company took on Tyler Norton to lead the Design Department. I'm fortunate to stay on and learn a lot about creating and maintaining design systems, communicate more efficiently with various teams, and support Customer Support and Marketing in various ways.

    • UX Lead

      I love designing applications and graphics that are modern, clean, and effective. I currently specialize in UI/UX design, branding, and motion graphics, and have backgrounds in document design, layout, and package design. I believe good UX design is straightforward, intuitive, and most importantly, kind. I'm always looking out for the next killer microinteraction or cool question to ask during a user test.
