TEACHING 🍎

Adjunct Professor of Design
University of Minnesota
2019 - Present

I teach a (really fun) Intro to UX/UI Design class at the University of Minnesota School of Design...I've had over 250 students :)

Volunteer UI Design Work :)

The Brand Lab is one of the most innovative non-profits today. They partner with creative agencies and high schools to facilitate impactful internships for students of all backgrounds.

As the organization scaled, they wanted to refresh their brand and website to reflect their inclusive and professional culture. I volunteered my UX/UI design services - we touched up the brand colors, fonts and imagery, then upgraded the website.

The designs are live on their site - Make sure to see their volunteer opportunities...great for any professional in the tech field looking to volunteer for an impactful nonprofit :)
