INFO
INFORMATION
Hey there.
I’m Heather, and I do design. I’m referring to myself as a Product Designer, though design-titles are a little ambiguous these days. I do interaction and experience design, with an emphasis on visuals. Communications and clarity are how my brain works, and I love to nerd out on the visual polish and details that make intuitive experiences sing.
My background is in branding and design for social impact, and I hope to use design thinking to solve problems and improve how some people experience the world. My curiosity lies in what it means to be human; our stories, our emotions, our perceptions of society, our wants, and more importantly our needs. And my passion lies in improving the way we understand and connect with each other and ourselves.
If you’re considering working with me, or just curious about me as a person, it’s also important to know some fun stuff too. So I've compiled a list of my favorite things, which is basically all you need to know about me.

I'm currently based out of beautiful Oak Town, but have been known to cross into The City from time to time (aka daily). I'd be happy to chat or grab coffee.
