    Hi, I'm Regan

    innovative
    Human-centric
    Experience Designer


    Thirty something years ago I was born, and the world was never the same again...

    At least that's how I like to begin the story. I am a storyteller. I love to tell stories through many different mediums, such as photography, painting, sketching, technical drawings, videos, motion graphics, and more. I have been learning new crafts from the time I was in pre-K. Since graduating with a Fine Arts degree I have been pushing pixels and curving vectors in order to enhance print documents, motion graphics, as well as web designs.
    Along the way I have successfully managed two small businesses including a software training company where I had the opportunity to design and renovate a state-of-the-art training facility located in the Greater New Orleans area.

Over the years, I came to realize my passion is for solving the equation, fixing the problem, or finding the most elegant solution, and so I entered the wonderful world of UX.

    What my colleagues have to say about me...


    • With Regan's ability to light up a room, it's no wonder that she's an amazing facilitator. Regan has an uncanny ability to get a team of wildly different personalities to close their laptops and focus on answering tough questions, all while keeping the energy upbeat and fun.

    • When Regan joined the team she immediately brought a positive energy that was palpable, bringing the team together with laughter and her warm personality.

    • Regan is all about process. She helped us to figure out and document our processes to ensure that we had a consistent delivery model, which kept us on track and meeting deadlines.

    • When Regan puts her researcher hat on, she is able to instantly build trust and a safe environment with users. They open up and we get information that we surely would have missed had the users felt different.
