My name is CHRISTINA

I bring vision and focus to UX teams

17 years of professional experience in a variety of sectors have given me the opportunity to master my intuitive understanding of business, strategy, and what people need. I find reward in helping clients, co-workers, and executives feel heard and empowered. I enjoy rolling up my sleeves with tremendous curiosity to solve problems and create beautiful, seamless user experiences.
