Playlist

The Greatest Hits Collection

A curated collection of roles, experiences — and some actual music from my playlist!

A little about me...

If you can't already tell, I love music - anything and everything from funky soul to electronic dance music. I'm always listening to music, especially when I'm designing. Pivoting from HR to UX Design was one of the best risks I've ever taken. Oh, and I once pitched (and earned) a promotion using Super Mario memes - because thoughtful storytelling matters and sometimes a little playfulness helps get the job done. Check out "My Top Songs" playlist for music I'm currently listening to on repeat!
