Hey there! I'm a UX designer who brings a dash of 90s nostalgia and creative energy to everything I do. After a decade in HR, I discovered my true calling in UX design, where I combine my understanding of human behavior with my passion for creating meaningful digital experiences.

When I'm not crafting user interfaces or conducting research, you might find me at Michael's (I admit, I have a slight addiction), sewing something quirky, or playing Mario Kart with my kids. I'm also teaching myself Roblox at my daughter's request – but it's also a good way to understand the user experience from a child's eyes.

I believe good design is like a butterfly effect – small, thoughtful changes can create significant impact.

Based in Columbia, MO, I bring my English degree's storytelling foundation and my background in psychology, sociology, and anthropology to improve the user experience.

Fun fact: In my college days at Mizzou, I was the drummer in an all-girl band. These days, I channel that creative energy into design while jamming to Pearl Jam, Tori Amos, and pretty much anything except super screamo or Garth Brooks (sorry, Garth).

Let's create something amazing together! Want to chat about UX, 90s pop culture, or share book recommendations? Drop me a line at psextro@gmail.com.
