My Work
Wayfair
Sr. Manager Product Design
During my time at Wayfair, I led design for authentication, security, and recognition experiences. I co-developed our multi-year roadmap for transitioning users to passwordless authentication methods, resulting in higher success rates and increased security, unlocking millions in annualized revenue opportunities.
In my last few months at Wayfair, I shifted focus to spearheading design on Wayfair’s internal Experimentation Platform. This transition allowed me to leverage my technical design expertise, delving deeper into the complexities of large-scale scientific experimentation.
Chipper Golf
Co-founder & Head of Design
In 2018 I co-founded and launched Chipper Golf, a multi-course membership providing golfers with a modern way to access their favorite courses.
In three seasons, we partnered with 18 courses in the Milwaukee area where 1300+ paying customers played 25,000 rounds of golf and grew the company to over $500k in revenue.
Golf reached all-time high popularity during COVID-19, leading courses to move to direct payment over partnership programs, resulting in our decision to close Chipper Golf in 2022.
Starz Entertainment
Sr. UX Designer
I created user flows, wireframes, sitemaps, interactive prototypes, and wrote technical requirements to define the user experience for fundamental Starz features across mobile, web and tv devices.
I represented UX as a key designer on the digital platforms team. In addition to Starz, this team designed and develops Pantaya, a new Spanish language streaming app. (Pantaya was recognized by Apple as an App Of The Day)
I managed the production of new Starz and Pantaya features from concept to design and development to implementation.
John Deere
UX Designer
I began my professional career as a User Experience Designer in January 2014 as an intern with John Deere. Upon graduating from Iowa State in May 2015, I began a full-time design position. I was the User Experience expert on the Deere.com redesign team, and led the design of MowerPlus, an iOS application that is now available in the App Store.
During my time with Deere, I had the privilege to design projects that are used by hundreds of thousands of customers. After 3 great years with John Deere I decided to end my career with them to pursue new opportunities in Colorado.
Student Work
Industrial Design Student Work
Iowa State University
I graduated from Iowa State University with a B.S. in Industrial Design and minor in Entrepreneurship, where I acquired a strong foundation in product design principles. My education encompassed essential elements such as ergonomics, product modeling and prototyping, manufacturing, and rendering.
While formally studying Industrial Design, my passion for User Experience (UX) formed during my tenure as a Co-op and Intern at John Deere. This invaluable experience allowed me to seamlessly integrate my industrial design background into UX principles, shaping my journey towards becoming a seasoned Product Designer.
