📝 Bio
I'm an insightful and adaptable problem-solver specializing in digital product design + design systems. 
I have 15+ years of design and leadership experience across specializations and industries.
I'm currently working with Equifax to help people at financial institutions and businesses detect and prevent fraud through the shaping and building of enterprise software and tools.

🔎 Interests
A11Y + Inclusive Design
Having a deep understanding of Accessibility and Inclusive design is critical to the people that use the products we craft. I steadily work to improve how I design with (not for) a diverse set of people.

• Building for Everyone by Annie Jean-Baptiste
• International Association of Accessibility Professionals (IAAP)
Design Systems + OOUX
I am dedicated to learning all I can about design systems, object-oriented UX, connected workflow, and how to design at scale.
Recommended Resources:
• Laying the Foundations by Andrew Couldwell
• Design Systems by Alla Kholmatova
• Object Modeling & Flow Diagraming for Designers by Heidi P. Adkisson

Full Stack Design
Design should transcend design files because we don't ship design files to our customers. I aim to close the gap between design and engineering by up-skilling my proficiencies in CSS, HTML, and JS  through courses at SuperHi to be a better development partner.
