Everything is a story.
My story
As a writer, content strategist, information architect, and UX designer with over a decade of experience, content is my happy place and I love using it to create engaging experiences.
I have a Nielsen Norman UX certification and multiple design thinking credentials from IBM, where I led the content strategy of the Carbon Design System, Carbon for IBM.com Design System, and Partner Ecosystem for several years.
I’m a design system advocate and incurable organizer—in my element when creating order out of chaos and creating simple and easily-repeatable solutions.
When I’m not writing and designing online, I’m renovating the physical spaces around me—both interiors and gardens.
Take a look at my portfolio to see how I work and what I’ve done.

Carbon's new information architecture

The way our users use a design system stretches beyond the assembly of pieces and the Carbon team is always working to make consistent experiences easier to build.
