Fueled by a lifelong passion for design, I transitioned from the bustling hospitality industry into UX design and then into a broader focus on design.

From managing a high-volume bars in Chicago, to being a dishwasher in North Carolina, my unique journey has equipped me with resilience, creativity, and empathy. My strengths in visual design, illustration, and empathy have been honed in various roles, and I bring these valuable skills into my design work. Upon moving to Sheboygan, Wisconsin, with my family, I have embraced a new phase in my career, seeking opportunities that align with my growing interest in design. Following the double diamond framework, I collaborate with team members to create innovative and user-centric solutions. Continuously learning and growing, I strive to make meaningful impacts with my designs. Outside of work, I enjoy lifting weights, drawing, painting, 3D printing, and coding. My transition from the vibrant world of hospitality to the ever-evolving landscape of design has endowed me with a unique perspective that I carry into each project. I am excited to continue exploring this captivating field in my new home, shaping the future of digital experiences, and contributing to the creative community in Sheboygan.…

    paper St. John's UCC Website redesign
    St. John's United Church of Christ in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, stood as a beacon of faith and community. However, its digital presence was in stark contrast to its vibrant congregation. The church's website, an outdated WordPress site, was struggling to reflect the church's dynamic mission, values, and community engagement. The Challenge The existing website was cumbersome, unresponsive, and visually outdated. Navigating through the site was an arduous process, hindering users from accessing vital information and connecting with the church's offerings. The challenge was not merely to modernize the website but to infuse it with the spirit and essence of St. John's UCC, making it a digital extension of the church itself. The Solution The redesign process started with in-depth analysis and planning. By understanding the unique needs and values of St. John's UCC, the design was tailored to resonate with its congregation and the wider community. The new website: Modernized Design: Fresh, clean, and visually appealing, the design incorporated the church's colors and themes. User-Friendly Navigation: A streamlined menu and intuitive layout ensured that users could quickly find what they were looking for. Responsive Design: The site was made accessible on various devices, ensuring a seamless experience whether on desktop, tablet, or mobile. Content Revitalization: From concise mission statements to engaging descriptions of fellowships and committees, the content was reimagined to connect with readers. Community Integration: New features like an event calendar and online giving options were implemented to enhance community interaction and participation. The Result The newly redesigned website is a testament to the spirit and mission of St. John's United Church of Christ. It's not just a site but a digital home for a community united in faith. The transformation from an outdated WordPress site to a modern, responsive, and engaging platform has empowered the church to reach out to its congregation and the broader community in ways that were not previously possible. This project was not just about aesthetic improvement; it was about breathing life into a digital space, mirroring the vibrant community of St. John's UCC. graphicdesigner illustrator webdesign…
