Hi, I’m Theresa, a creative based in the Denver metro area.
I have a strong passion for expressing creativity through art and design. I am a detailed-oriented, communicative collaborator with exceptional writing skills.
I have created material to reach a specific audience through my work in diversity awareness education. I have leveraged my understanding of the unique needs of multiple individuals to effectively engage volunteers. I am excited to merge my visual and design skills with my ability to be receptive to people’s needs and goals as I pursue a position in UI/UX Design.
I look forward to opportunities to work with a design team to create organized, intuitive solutions that improve everyday experiences.
Looking back
In 2004, I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Painting from the College of Santa Fe in New Mexico. During my studies, I also gained practical experience in graphic design while working for the College's Public Relations Department. After graduating, I worked in graphic design and art education in the Santa Fe and Denver areas.
Looking forward
After setting aside time to focus on starting a family, I wanted to stop piecing together part time work that didn’t ultimately make use of my core interests and skills. I decided to take courses in UI/UX Design through California Institute of the Arts and Design Lab to expand my expertise, build on my graphic design foundation, and stay competitive as the industry evolves. My interest was piqued at the integration of research based consideration of users’ needs and goals in both interaction and visual design of digital products. I'm excited to utilize my wide range of skills as I embark on the next chapter of my career journey.
What is free time?
When I’m not hiking or biking with my three boys, you might find me working on my latest painting, dropping in on an West African dance class, or playing guitar at our local church. I seek opportunities for expression across a wide range of disciplines and to cultivate meaningful community connections. I also love chai tea, chocolate chip cookies, and searching for my next great read.
