I am a product designer on the Growth team at onX Maps. My focus and passion is connecting the user to what they are looking for in an efficient and simple way. I value direct feedback from users and co-workers alike.

I came upon user experience design by way of a decade long career in commercial and editorial photography. While building my photography business in the midst of the Austin tech boom, I photographed portraits and events for companies such as Google, Edible Austin, University of Texas and Favor Delivery. Through these initial explorations, I completed a boot camp that propelled me into non-stop learning about business, strategy and storytelling within the design process.

As a creative who values other people's stories, product design has enabled me to bring my documentary approach to the iterative process of design, inspiring a dynamic environment of inclusivity and collaboration.

I live in Montana with my husband and 12 month old daughter. I'd love to connect on all things design, photography, and the outdoors.
