I believe great design happens when empathy meets strategy. By combining user research, data insights, and cross-functional collaboration, I help teams build experiences that balance customer needs with measurable growth. Thanks for being here.

Testimonials from some of my former team members and cross-functional partners.
When I decided to bring Courtney onto our UX team, she didn't flinch at moving into a new domain (apps). She quickly became an expert in the area as well as accessibility. She takes challenge in stride and shows up as a professional, willing to rise to the needs of the team. When I asked her to learn more quantitative customer insight tools, she also rose to that challenge. I was always impressed with Courtney's drive and willingness to grow her craft and felt vindicated that potential I saw in her grew into a strong UX professional. She would be a high on my list of people to work with again if the opportunity arose.

Courtney was a standout report of mine at American Eagle. Throughout her time on the App User Experience (UX) team, she proved to be a proactive and reliable partner, excelling in her work with experience design, research and data insights gathering to optimize the digital customer journey. Beyond her technical skills, Courtney’s greatest asset is her growth mindset. She actively seeks out feedback and applies it immediately, showing a dedication to her craft that is rare to find. She doesn't just deliver UX experiences; she provides context and strategy that help move the needle.
