Mentorship

Pink starburst with person and heart

What's This?

This collection highlights my passion for fostering UX culture, mentoring emerging designers, and inspiring others. Featured projects include a monthly UX culture email series, a quarterly user research education series, and both local and online mentorship programs.

Mentorship

In 2020, I launched AIGA West Michigan’s first mentorship program. After two years of leading it, I proudly passed the torch to become a mentor myself. The mentorships and friendships I’ve built through these programs have been so rewarding.

I Won't Stop Talking About UX Design

When I get the chance, I love talking about the power of UX and sharing fun, practical tips for cross-functional teams. I do this because I’m passionate about sparking excitement for UX and championing user-centered design as a core pillar that drives success.

✦ The UX Moonthly ✦

I joined Joon Loloi as their only UX designer, where UX was still a new concept to the company. When our sister company Loloi Rugs hired their first UX designer, we teamed up to launch a monthly email digest to promote UX culture. We chose a magic/occult theme for this digest. I created the branding and illustrations for it.

Quarterly UXR Talk Series

As an extension of UX Moonthly, we started a talk series focused on research topics to engage the business and spark interest in UXR. I loved creating these talks, incorporating animations and interactive moments to make them more engaging and memorable. This is the type of work that fills my cup.

Look familiar?

The more talks I delivered and emails I designed, the deeper I fell in love with this brand. I infused that passion into every corner of this website and my personal branding.
