About

In my favorite place - outdoors :)

As a seasoned designer with over 17 years of expertise in graphic design and more recently user experience design, I bring a well-rounded skill set that blends creativity, strategy, and user-centered design. With a keen eye for aesthetics and a deep understanding of UXUI principles, I craft solutions that not only meet business objectives but also prioritize accessibility and user needs.

Driven by innovation and a problem-solving mindset, I thrive in dynamic, fast-paced environments—whether working independently or collaboratively. My adaptability allows me to navigate complexity with ease, while my strong communication and presentation skills enable me to advocate for design decisions with clarity and confidence. Always eager to learn and evolve, I am committed to creating impactful, intuitive experiences that resonate with users.

My Handmade Jewelry Business

I have had a fascination with jewelry from a very young age. At age 12, I started making my own beads using polymer clay and crafted my own jewelry. My love for beads of all materials was sparked when I went to my first bead show in RI. From then on I was hooked. Buying premade beads, I was able to devote more time to wire work and creating my own clasps.
I loved being able to make a piece of jewelry from start to finish in one sitting! I wanted to share my creativity with the whole world so I opened my Etsy shop in 2008. I get most of my inspiration from Mother Nature – the most beautiful goddess.

Always observing my surroundings

Living in New England for most of my life I love being outdoors and exploring. Specifically the changing seasons and all the splendor each one brings. I lived in Los Angeles for 8 years and returned to New England in 2022.

You can find me walking or hiking in the woods or along the ocean front taking pictures. I usually take photos with my iPhone and sometimes I shoot with my Cannon Rebel XTI with a 17 - 70mm lens.

I enjoy being active and getting fresh air. When I am not outside I am working on creative projects such as making jewelry for my Etsy shop, painting or indoor rock climbing.

Check out some of my photography below. Enjoy!
