I am classically trained in the Bauhaus based Industrial Design program at Carnegie-Mellon University, and in the Textile Design program at University of Michigan.

Self-starting, resourceful, professional who understands the subtleties/ramifications of code and design decisions. Possessing the unique combination of visual design abilities, deep understanding of user needs and coding experience.

Since living in California I have continued my life-long love of learning at Foothill College, DeAnza College, Stanford University, UCSC-Extension, and University of Illinois - online programs. Expanding my programming knowledge (C, Visual Basic, Javascript, Perl, SQL, Unix admin), adding to my UX toolbox, and diversifying my visual skills.

Solving problems is the essence of my day; learning something new gets me up in the morning. I love the ever changing landscape of my field — UX - web development - design.
