I’ve recently joined Argenta Park.We are designers & technologists with a shared passion for creating beautiful, intuitive product experiences. My role in the studio is Managing Director of Experience Design. My background in Industrial Design and Human-Centered Design, leads me to understand users’ needs and answer them in the execution of the product experiences. My range of work today is primarily in design leadership with a focused interest in connected experiences and product design strategy.

I channel my passion for sharing with the design community in leading volunteer teams. In the past this meant as Co-chair MWUX, IxDA Grand Rapids Local Leader and as Co-Founder of Ladies that UX Grand Rapids. I also enjoy giving back by teaching locally through coLearning at The Factory and at Kendall College of Art and Design. In these courses I covered concepts and methodologies of product and user experience design through various digital formats such as mobile, web or desktop applications.
