I have long been passionate about designing interfaces to affect behavior change. In my efforts as a designer, I’ve found that great UX and information design can play an important role in supporting behavior change, but are secondary drivers of behavior.

In 2024, I became a certified trained health and wellness coach through The Mayo Clinic. I am currently building out a part-time coaching practice to help people make lifestyle changes that will improve their health and wellness. Coaches help clients in several ways, such as facilitating wellness visions; identifying and tapping into motivation; building realistic plans; and serving as an accountability partner.
