Experience

I have worked in all forms of digital media and design for over 15 years. I have served in non-profit arts organizations as a:

  • Digital Strategist: I help to connect the dots between the needs, wants, and desires of the organization and the business, brand, and marketing goals of technology-rich projects.
  • User Experience Designer: I always design with the user in mind and strive for inclusivity and accessibility in everything I do. Using a variety of user research methods, I validate and iterate on these solutions to ensure the best experience by the largest number of people.
  • Project Manager: I shepherd projects through the digital project lifecycle, combining agile methodology with traditional workflows. I have successfully managed 2 major website redesigns with simultaneous Content Management System implementations. 
  • Web Analyst: As a Google-certified analyst, I am charged with tracking multiple websites and digital projects, finding ways to enhance search engine optimization, engagement, and performance.
