I’m a product designer based in Asheville, NC. I’m passionate about creating meaningful, useful solutions that make a difference. My drive to serve others has led me to roles in government and the nonprofit sector, including a year of service in AmeriCorps.
I’m open to work and looking for roles related to product design that are remote or in Western North Carolina. Most of my experience is in hiring / workforce development and government, but I’m interested in exploring other fields.
