I'm a Sr. Product Designer for a company that's reimagining the way real estate agents work.
For the last 4 years, I've worked full-time remotely for SkySlope and it's been a wonderful experience with lots of video calls, Slack messages, and an awesome team of talented designers.
Trustworthy, precise, constantly improving and seeking aesthetic inspiration that has helped set and move the bar at SkySlope.

No matter the project, my design foundation is always based on crap.
C
Contrast
This is how I establish focal points, capture attention, and organize content on a page.
R
Repitition
I use this to create a sense of unity, consistency, and cohesiveness in a design.
A
Alignment
This helps me create visual connections between elements and stay tidy.
P
Proximity
This ties everything together and allows me to create hierarchy and balance.
Deliver usable, polished, production-ready designs.
This is kind of my design super power. It's something I'm prideful for and am extremely passionate about.
Document and diagram user journeys and workflows.
Sometimes the obvious path isn't the greatest. I find joy in finding journeys the user didn't know they wanted.
Build, manage, and maintain your design system.
I love documenting and creating reusable components to ensure consistency and standardization.
Mentor and guide junior designers on your team.
I think I have a lot of knowledge to share and helping fellow designers level up truly warms my heart.
Present work directly to leaders and stakeholders.
Proper storytelling and articulating a body of design has helped me get the green light on several projects.
Explore solutions and help you imagine what's possible.
Speedy ideation and prototyping is how I've been able to quickly bring ideas to life in a cost efficient way.
Are you ready to get this party started?
