Currently, I’m a Service Experience Designer at Blue Cross of Idaho, where I lead end-to-end experience design across digital and non-digital channels.

I thrive most in the creative process when I'm turning insights into thoughtful, user-centered designs that make things feel effortless–even when they're complex behind the scenes.

My Process

My Process

That feeling of “this just makes sense” in an experience doesn’t happen by accident. It comes from creative problem-solving and thoughtful design, backed by real insight and tested with real people.

I start by getting to know the end users’ habits, motivations, and how they naturally think about things. From there, I design experiences that meet them where they are and gently guide them to where they need to go—testing and iterating until the experience aligns with how people think and act.
