I’m a designer and front-end developer with a passion for design systems, accessiblity, and designing for people of any ability.

I've worked in government technology to transform complex systems into experiences that are simple, intuitive, and easy to use.

I was at 18F delivering digital services for the government and a core member of the U.S. Web Design System team. In 2014, I did the Code for America fellowship working with the City of San Antonio. I've also designed and developed websites for startups, the healthcare industry, and non-profit organizations.
