John Deere
UX Designer

I began my professional career as a User Experience Designer in January 2014 as an intern with John Deere. Upon graduating from Iowa State in May 2015, I began a full-time design position. I was the User Experience expert on the Deere.com redesign team, and led the design of MowerPlus, an iOS application that is now available in the App Store. 

During my time with Deere, I had the privilege to design projects that are used by hundreds of thousands of customers. After 3 great years with John Deere I decided to end my career with them to pursue new opportunities in Colorado.

Allsteel Desk

Allsteel partnered with Iowa State in the Fall of 2013 to have students design a new line of office furniture.  Following a creative brief, I performed customer research and created a CAD model. I was selected as a representative of Iowa State Design to present student concepts at Allsteel's headquarters. This experience offered me professional practices that I use today.
