Hi there!

UX/UI Design, Development, and Project Management

Self-employed – Contract Work for Various Companies

Louisville, KY area

I’ve worked with a variety of clients — like Blackstone Media, Amundsen Tech, ScholarRX, and Horse Racing Nation — helping them build everything from web apps to mobile tools to interactive content. I’ve handled UX design, front-end development, and project management, often jumping between roles to keep the process moving. Most projects were B2B and focused on making complex stuff easier to use. I’ve teamed up with developers, clients, and users to make sure the final product looked good and worked even better.

Senior UX Engineer

El Toro

Louisville, KY (full-remote)

At El Toro, I led the design and rollout of the company’s first design system using React Storybook, supporting both internal tools and public-facing products. I worked closely with engineers, stakeholders, and leadership to turn complex requirements into clear, usable interfaces. Along the way, I ran usability testing, helped prioritize design work, and built scalable UX patterns that sped up development and kept things consistent across teams.

UX/UI Designer

Atria

Louisville, KY (full-remote)

At Atria, I helped put together a consistent design system for a many SaaS web and mobile tools used by staff and residents across the country. I worked with teams across different departments to clean up the user experience and make sure everything felt cohesive. A big part of the job was keeping things on track between the Louisville team and developers overseas — making sure everyone was on the same page. I focused on building clean, accessible UI components and keeping communication flowing smoothly between design and engineering.

UX Engineer

Platform Q

Boston, MA (full-remote)

At Platform Q, I worked remotely with two cross-functional teams to bring wireframes and prototypes to life on a large-scale video learning platform. I focused on turning complex requirements into intuitive, polished user experiences that served thousands of learners. My role blended design and front-end implementation, and I stayed in close daily communication with developers and stakeholders to make sure the user experience stayed front and center. I also contributed to design system improvements and helped refine the handoff between design and development.

Web Developer

cafepress

Louisville, KY (hybrid-remote)

I started on a small R&D-style team at CafePress building out new product ideas and the user-facing experiences that brought them to life. Later, I joined the main front-end team, where I worked on high-traffic pages seen by tens of thousands of users daily. I focused on delivering clean, user-friendly interfaces and collaborated closely with designers, marketers, and backend developers to keep projects running smoothly across teams.

Co-Founder/Director/President

Louisville Makes Games

In 2015 I co-founded a 501-(c)(3) non-profit organization called Louisville Makes Games, Inc. The goal of LMG is to provide educational courses and promote game development careers in the city of Louisville, KY. In February 2016, we had the grand opening for Warp Zone Louisville, the first and only game development-centric co-working space in Louisville (and Kentucky!). Community meetups, classes, and events are hosted out of Warp Zone Louisville, as well as providing amenities of a co-working space on Main Street in downtown Louisville.

Lousville Game Creator's Meetup

The independent game developer community in Louisville is a huge passion of mine. The Louisville Game Creator's Meetup (formerly Game Dev Lou) is a twice-monthly meetup and support group for local game developers. I have facilitated nearly every meeting, and to date I have helped to organize 3-4 game jam events per year.

Founder / Organizer / Host

JSLou - Louisville's JavaScript Community

In order to grow and challenge myself as a developer, I founded and hosted JSLou; a local group focused on all things JavaScript. I learned a great deal from the many experienced developers I met through JSLou. I enjoyed facilitating an environment where others can learn and expand their skills. After maintaining the group for nearly five years I passed the torch to new passionate developers to continue facilitating the community.
