Ask my family — I've never grown out of asking "Why?"
With 10+ years of experience, that curiosity is still prevalent now in how I work: digging into how people think and behave, and designing from that understanding to create things that make sense, feel good, and work well.

I'm a Southern California-raised, Midwest-based UX designer with 10+ years of experience. I started out in fine arts, then pivoted into UX. I was drawn to the left-brained side of it: every decision grounded in data and research rather than personal preference. I've been asking “Why?” ever since I was a kid (just ask my parents). And I don't just stop at trying to find out why something is the way it is, but why that's actually true. I dig in deep until I get to the real answer. That curiosity has taken me across a lot of different industries, and I've found that those skills carry over more than people expect.
