About Me

(in about 263 words)

Intro

I am a UX Designer, maker, skier, coffee lover, video game enthusiast, and a huge proponent of sweatpants. I love finding joy in the people that I'm surrounded by, and trying to bring that same joy to others. I live everyday striving to find what I have to offer the people around me and how I can live that out.

Currently

You will find me as a Technical UX Designer at 343 Industries working on Halo Infinite.

Some history

  • I grew up on a cattle ranch in Northeastern Colorado.
  • I have my undergraduate degree in Computer Science from the University of Colorado in Boulder.
  • I have my Masters Degree in Human Centered Design and Engineering from the University of Washington.

I like

  • Skiing (both water and snow)
  • Coffee
  • Welding
  • Woodworking
  • Dogs; no I don't have one :(
  • Dragons; also don't have one :(
  • Video games that make me have "holy snap" moments

Fun facts

  • I only had eleven students in my graduating class from high school.
  • I've built a sculpture of a dragon out of sheet steel and over 1000 CDs.
  • I took two semesters of Chinese in Undergrad. Every once in a while my brain can translate characters I see into phonetic sounds (even if I don't remember meaning anymore).
  • I use Dark Mode and Night Light on everything I possibly can. I even added Dark Mode to this site using this React Hook.
