I am a jack-of-all-trades designer with a long and full artistic history between pen and paper, interior design, and performing arts. Tri-lingual in English, German, and American Sign Language, I yearn to travel and expand my empathy by immersing myself in cultures vastly different from my own. I love to learn new crafts and cultivate my abilities; my current projects are web accessibility, front end development, embroidery, and circus arts.

I have two and a half degrees from the University of Northern Colorado in Theater Studies, German, and a minor in Dance. As a Colorado native, I only get a few chances to speak my target languages, but I have always been active in the local German community since I was German club president in College.

As a kid I was a part of the gifted program at my school where we were periodically taken out of class and given puzzles and problems to mentally wrestle over. Since then I've had a passion for riddles and problem solving that led me to taking a Harvard class and coding my own rudimentary calculator in C. After looking for many ways to have an artistic career that didn't end up with me as a waitress between gigs, I finally found that my love of problem solving fit quite well into the niche of UI/UX designer.
