I value grand ideas.  I am interested in emerging technologies.  I approach situations with integrity. I believe in the spirituality of imperfection. And I am passionate about having fun!I graduated from Emerson College in Boston with a B.A in Film and Digital Media Production - did the whole Hollywood thing, but longed for the east coast. I landed in NYC, working as a Studio Director for photographer/film-maker Steven Sebring (currently titled as “photo-scientist” and “inventor,”, which I totally dig and is definitely accurate).  I led teams and contributed to projects, ensuring the three main end-users were always satisfied: Steven (as Creative Director) - our client (whether MAC Cosmetics, Coach, Vanity Fair, etc.) - and the audience/user/consumer.  Each had specifications throughout the project that I ensured worked seamlessly and successfully.Then, dot dot dot, my first niece was born. After missing her first steps, I decided to move to ATL to watch her grow up. I currently work on the retail side of The Home Depot, and I am a newcomer to the world of UX.  I have a guinea pig named Jolie. And finally, I geek-out at anything UX related, which has landed me a seat where I’m at!
