I studied Interaction Design at California College of the Arts in San Francisco. My teachers were not only working professionals in the San Francisco Bay Area, but many of them are also highly respected experts in the UX field who fly around the world to share their expertise. I learned so much from them, I want to give back to the growing UX community—that includes you!

Though "UX Designer" is my title according to my resume, in my practice I also utilize my knowledge of UX Research, Content Strategy, Information Architecture, Graphic Design, Game Design, Illustration, Animation, Cinematography, Textiles/Fashion, and more! I've done projects with Ford Motor Company, ACLU Northern California, Women Talk Design LLC, and participated in design sprints and workshops with Future Partners and wonderful mentors like Christina Wodtke, Indi Young, Barry Katz, Joy Mountford, and so many more! (Definitely look these people up!!)

There's already a large amount of good UX resources on this site, but I will do my best to fill you in on important UX lessons that I believe are missing from the Skillshare site, show you how many other disciplines can inform great UX practices, and give as many real-world examples as I can to help you see how these tools can be used in practice. That being said, half of my learning was gained spending time with peers. Go and find a community—a Facebook group, a friend group chat, here on Skillshare, anything—where you can safely critique one another's' work, grow together, and support one another. Remember, friends make handy references... ;p
