Not Work
Outside the realms of UX, I enjoy being outdoors with my dog, Oliver, while we hike or garden. I'm a knitter of cozy objects, and a dedicated D&D player. I've been dabbling with indoor rock climbing.
After a decade of living in Seattle, I'm enjoying being back in my home state of Michigan. I'm currently working on restoring the 100+ year old American Foursquare home I purchased in the city of Detroit.
