Hey, I’m Monica

I help product design, user experience, research, and design system teams create amazing experiences.

My Approach

Collaborative

I believe in the power of collaboration to create exceptional websites. As an extension of your team, I immerse myself in your vision and goals. I work closely with you to develop a website that not only reflects your brand but exceeds your expectations.

Iterative

I take an iterative approach in my work to ensure the final result aligns with your creative vision and reflects your unique brand identity. We’ll work together to refine and fine-tune your site’s design, leaving no detail overlooked.

Chit Chat Facts

  • You have to go up and down a lot of mountain passes then through stunning dessert but it totally is possible to bike from Canada to Cuba… (couch muffled New Mexico).

  • Had a pre-teen vision of a black, white, and red room—complete with black carpet. My parents wouldn’t pay for it, so that’s where my Arby’s paycheck went. Dad reluctantly installed it.

  • I worked with Adolescents from 12 to 19 years old in an inpatient rehab facility. Rest assured if I can smoothly negotiate dynamics between teenagers in recovery, dynamics in corporate teams are not a problem.

  • I spent a month in Tanzania including hiking up Kilimanjaro when I reached the summit it was breathtaking but REALLY REALLY cold!
