A little about me

Early in my career, I have been in front of a computer with my first job as a LAN Administrator. While fixing computers and supporting software, I finished my Bachelors Degree in Business.

I then changed careers and dived into data recovery and became the first female Remote Data Recovery Engineer in the world. While that was rewarding, I decided to tap into the creative side of my skills as I always had an interest in design.

To grow and explore new opportunities, I became a freelance contractor and began building websites using best practices for responsive design and SEO. Always focusing on growth mindset, I enhanced my skillset by completing UX/UI Design boot camp.

When I’m not designing, I love spending time with my family doing outdoor activities such as camping, hiking, and exploring. I also enjoy volunteering for a local community nonprofit, Chaska Area Fishing with Friends, that focuses on fishing education and adventures.

UX and UI design are essential for web design because they ensure that websites are user-friendly, visually appealing, and effective at meeting user needs and business objectives. A well-designed website can attract and retain users, drive conversions, and enhance a brand’s online presence.

By understanding user behaviors, preferences, and pain points, I can create websites that are intuitive and user-friendly. This, in turn, leads to higher user satisfaction and engagement.

UX design focuses on creating clear and efficient navigation paths within a website. Users should be able to easily find the information they need and complete tasks without frustration. Effective UI design complements this by providing intuitive controls and visual cues for user interactions.

I invite you to explore my case studies to observe the impact of UX/UI design on web development.
