About

I’m a UX Designer, Graphic Designer, and Photographer. I have over 13 years of experience in the creative industry - both in-house and in agency settings. I am currently the UX Design Manager for td.com (U.S.) at TD Bank. I have a photography business on the side, and I teach graphic design one night a week at the University of New England.

Outside of work, I love to ski, go to fitness classes, hang out with friends, go to concerts, get crafty, and try new restaurants.

Specialties

  • I've been working on websites since 2011. My first job was at a small web design company based in Salem, MA. I learned the basics of Agile, Drupal, and working on a design team. Every job I've worked since 2011 has involved web design. I took my UX training and certification with NN Group in 2014 and took classes in web development at Harvard Extension School in Boston. I'm currently the UX Design Manager for td.com (TD Bank's U.S. website) and build websites in my free time for friends and local businesses. You can see my full experience on my LinkedIn.

  • I studied design, videography and web design in college and sought a career in the creative industry. I've been lucky enough to work in many roles where I can flex my graphic design as well as UX design muscles. I worked as the Senior Designer & Creative Team Manager at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts where I managed a designer and videographer on the corporate communications team. There, I managed print and interior design projects, digital graphics, photo/video shoots, and the design and launch of a new intranet homepage as well as health news website. Prior to that, I was the creative team manager for FleishmanHillard's Boston creative studio team. There, I managed work for clients like AT&T, Bose, Anheuser-Busch and Samsung. I teach graphic design one night a week at the University of New England. My class covers design basics (typography, color theory, working on creative teams) as well as UX design (Figma, prototyping, HTML/CSS, building portfolios in Squarespace). Outside of work, I design logos and websites for friends and small businesses.

  • I have a successful photography side business where I photograph weddings, events, portraits and lifestyle. Photography is a major passion of mine, and I am lucky to be able to make some extra cash from it.

Interests

  • I'm a big-time ski girlie. If I had to pick only one hobby for the rest of eternity, this would be it. My favorite mountain is Sugarloaf (in Maine)! I'm lucky to have a best friend whose family lives in Breckenridge, so I get to visit about once a year for a ski trip!

  • I've been taking photos on professional-grade cameras since about 2016. I learned to use DSLRs while working on the Creative Studio team at FleishmanHillard - Boston. Since then, I've been taking wedding photos, event photos, and portraits. I'm proud to say that I was selected to photograph the local ambassador program for Lululemon in Portland, Maine and my photos are hanging in the Lululemon store at the Maine Mall in South Portland!

  • If there's one thing I'll never say no to, it's going to a concert! I've been to Coachella three times, and most recently went on a trip to Stockholm, Sweden to see Taylor Swift (don't laugh) - a friend and I made a trip out of it and hit Copenhagen on our way out. I am traveling to Portugal and Spain this summer (2025) and will be attending the Mad Cool music festival in Madrid, which features artists like Noah Kahan, Olivia Rodrigo, and Gracie Abrams.

  • I love to knit and make weird little crafts (I got really into making t-shirts for an Etsy store using a Cricut cutting machine during the height of covid). My current favorite crafting hobby is inviting friends over for "girl dinner" at my apartment (which is exactly what it sounds like) while we make friendship bracelets, T Swift style.
