Collaborative Communicator
Keeping clients and stakeholders in the loop during the design and development process is crucial. Providing updates that align and engage builds confidence, enthusiasm, and ultimately value. I pride myself in both my proficiency in changing course when needed, as well as my skill of getting people pumped about outcomes.

I have been implementing agile processes within my solo projects to gear up for working on an effective powerhouse of a team who shares a common goal.

Super Zoomer
I am detail oriented AND a big picture thinker. I know when to zoom in and when to zoom out, a skill I have honed by working on projects of various scopes.
