About

I am a Los Angeles based User Experience Design Lead with over 13 years of experience designing digital solutions for a variety of platforms including responsive web, application, mobile, tablet and television.  I excel at working in highly collaborative settings with design and development teams and with clients.  My ability to diagnose and solve design problems quickly through a research and insights driven, iterative process improves the outcome of my work.  I make it a priority to actively design and oversee the end-to-end user experience of each project.  My strengths are that I’m thoughtful, easy to work with and exceptionally well organized. I’ve worked in a variety of industries and clients which includes the following:

After graduating with a B.A. from Washington University in St. Louis where I studied psychology, business, and architecture; I began my professional career working in the digital industry. I gained experience in online marketing, social media, website content management, and production, but soon found I had an affinity towards user experience design. From 2010-2012, I worked at several studios designing for various platforms including websites, applications, mobile, tablets, and televisions.  From 2012-2017, I worked my way to a User Experience Design Lead at a digital advertising agency, Blitz.  Working at an agency has taught me to work in a fast paced environment while still producing quality work.  Since mid-2017, I have been freelancing. In 2019 I started my own business, Newmark Design, LLC.

I'm highly creative, organized and love problem solving through design.  I can clearly communicate complex solutions using my strong communication and presentation skills.  I'm an excellent team member and leader who values being an integral partner with clients.  I really enjoy UX design.  When I'm not working, I lead a very active lifestyle.  I'm usually engaged in physical activities like swimming, yoga or at the gym.
