I started this journey into the user experience field back in November of 2018. I had been working as a graphic designer at a church for about a year at that point, and had dreams of expanding my influence and creative expression. I had a bachelor's degree in sociology and knew I needed to gain a working knowledge of the basics, the field itself, and find a way to break in.
Like anyone new to a subject, I researched around the web, watched Lynda videos, read blog posts, etc. After a lot of research, I finally stumbled upon the Springboard program. Eight months later and 350+ hours of being immersed in UX, with a few portfolio projects in my pocket, I was ready.
I've been blessed to call this field home for three years and can't wait for new experiences and problems that lie ahead.

My work is primarily focused on tulipcremation.com, a direct cremation service that bypasses the typical need for a brick and mortar store. I also lead user research efforts to gain critical insights from our customers to maintain a top tier experience.
