Fargo, ND
senior
I'm a UI/UX Designer with 10 years of experience building Bible translation tools for global, low-resource environments — tools used by thousands of mother tongue translators across nearly 1,000 language communities in South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia.

My work spans the full product lifecycle: stakeholder research, field observation studies across 6+ countries, interaction design, usability testing, and developer handoff. I've led design across five field-deployed applications, architected a cross-product atomic design system from scratch, and helped shift my organization's culture from treating design as an afterthought to making it central to how products are defined and built.

I'm particularly drawn to constraint-driven problems — environments where limited hardware, connectivity, and training time demand pragmatic, high-impact design decisions. I work best in close collaboration with engineering and product teams, and I believe the best design outcomes come from validating assumptions early rather than polishing solutions late. Currently exploring new opportunities in UI/UX and product design.
