Sr. Community Specialist @ Zapier | Founder of Floxies Community | Building D.A.M.N. awesome Discord communities

Passionate community builder and tech enthusiast, I have successfully transitioned from working as a primary school teacher to becoming a tech leader, leveraging my skills in UX/UI design and Webflow development.

As the Founder of the Floxies Community, I've created an empowering platform for over 1500 women in UX/UI design and Webflow development. Our weekly "Wonder Wednesdays" live events provide our members with valuable insights from industry experts, fostering a vibrant and supportive learning environment.

In addition to Floxies, I work as the Community Manager for NoCodeOps, where I've built a thriving community centered around no-code operational solutions.
Our weekly live events bring in thought leaders from the no-code space, further enhancing the knowledge and skills of our community members.

My unique blend of creativity, technical skills, and community-focused approach has not only allowed me to build and nurture these communities but has also established me as a thought leader in the tech space.

I’m continuously seeking out new ways to grow and optimize our communities, fostering a culture of learning and mutual support. I believe in the transformative power of communities and the limitless potential they hold for individual growth and industry innovation.

In my free time, I enjoy playing the piano, playing soccer and playing video-games
(yes, I love playing in general! 😜).

I am also a proud member and Ambassador at Women TechMakers.

Students completed five projects with skills used from research and ideation to prototyping and testing.

Senior Designer | Art Director

I’m a passionate, hands-on creative leader focused on developing multi-platform digital product solutions that drive reach, engagement, and monetization. A diverse background in film, photography and storytelling help define my user-centered design process and holistic approach.    

Whether collaborating with a cross-functional team or working directly with a client, my natural curiosity is supported with expertise in interaction design, brand systems, digital campaigns, and content creation.  My experience in UX design spans across multiple disciplines and touch points - from concept through development and launch.  Sketches, wireframes, prototypes, documentation - it’s all an integral part of the development process.

I believe we must have deep empathy for human behavior and emotions,  as great design focuses on solving problems and bringing value to clients.
