Howdy! I'm a Learning Architect with deep roots in UX leadership and an L&D career spanning published e-learning, workforce training, and enterprise capability systems. I bring a UX instinct to everything I build — start with the learner, measure outcomes, design for behavior change — and I design programs that teams can own, operate, and scale without the original designer in the loop.

Recent highlights

• Completed Master's degree in Information Design and Strategy with specialization in Learning Design (degree conferred December 2025)
• Developed capstone project exploring connectivism, peer mentoring, workplace learning ecosystems, and AI for practical upskilling applications (lots of nerd words here—happy to elaborate!)
• Designed and launched two peer development programs at Charles Schwab, both structured so every cohort created growth on both sides.
• Transformed a Figma adoption training program into a full-scale digital enablement forum—reaching an average of 90+ employees per session across UX, Product, and Product Operations.
• Architecting a connected capability system at Charles Schwab — from the competency framework that defines what good looks like, to the AI-powered coaching tools that help individuals get there.

I love to help professionals develop their skills

When I was a Manager of User Experience, one of my favorite parts of the job was working with my team to create their professional development plans and helping them find education opportunities.

I give extra credit

I’ve been an adjunct faculty member at Austin Community College’s Visual Design department.  While I don’t teach any longer, I served as a member of the Curriculum Advisory Committee for ACC’s UX/UI associates degree program for almost a decade.

I’m a surprisingly social introvert

I co-founded the Austin chapter of Ladies That UX. This local UX meet-up boasted over 500 members and was the first LTUX chapter in North America. I’ve also served as a Director of Programs and Events for UXPA Austin.

I can be slightly obnoxious about being from Texas

Winnermint, my nom de web, pokes fun at how I pronounce the word “wintermint” in my intermittent native Texas drawl.

Makers gonna’ make

Outside of work and school, I pair building my skills in delivering synchronous online learning and working on sewing projects. I’ve live-streamed on Twitch as CatOnTheFold, where my two cats frequently raided the stream.
