Fifteen years designing product across IKEA, frog & Razorfish — from Berlin to Boulder to Stockholm. Texan, in a good way. Moved to Sweden for loveee.
Listen, I always have snacks. I'm currently fueled by Takis and looking for my next role outside of IKEA, which is bittersweet.
I've spent the last 5 years helping make IKEA an industry leader for digital accessibility in ecom, integrating 3D experiences into IKEA's site and native apps, and designing IKEA's design system. All with absolutely stellar teams I will miss IMMENSELY.
I can't share recent work due to some iron-clad NDAs, but I can walk through how I, alongside my favorite engineering manager, lead IKEA into being one of the first retailers to support dark mode.
I can share my part in how we mapped & coordinated the herculean effort of getting many, many products to not only become WCAG 2.2 AA compliant, but pushed the digital accessibility maturity of an entire organization.
Shoutout to lovable for helping me get a site up right quick, since I have approx -923875 hours outside of work as a mom to 2 small kids 🥰
Ensuring an inclusive and accessible digital experience for IKEA customers globally through strategic, operational & tactical planning and execution, coordinating across 100+ cross-functional product teams and 20+ global markets.
Integrating home design projects into IKEA's .com and native app.
As a contractor while at frog: evaluating, updating, and proposing changes and additions to IKEA's design system.
Researching, designing, testing and shipping experiences for Postnord, Securitas, and IKEA.
Ran my own company with a few contractors, shipping brand and products for several companies in the outdoors industry.
Lead design team for content design, marketing, and growth of our streaming service.
Designed interactive experiences for several clients, mostly Microsoft.
Concepted and designed digital campaigns, mostly for smartcar. Worth noting that I moved to Germany without having been there, and not knowing the language. That was wild.
This was a long time ago, ya'll. But it was the best first job I could've asked for. Designed digital campaigns for Blackberry (remember?!?!) including the launch of their tablet. Yeah, that long ago.
