i’m sunni. a ux designer and digital marketer based in seattle.

I’m a member of The Ponca Tribe of Oklahoma, drawing inspiration from people and their stories.

part of my story

I’m enthusiastic about design and strive to create products that center empathy, connection, and community. I fell in love with UX as it is the perfect intersection of media, culture, and technology – a union that I was always looking for in my previous career. I found UX Design after 6+ years in the world of digital marketing with a focus on SEO and enhancing the more technical aspects of a client’s site performance. I have a strong foundation of research, content strategy, data analysis, and working within an agile environment. 

My passion for UX stems from my empathetic personality and a desire to create products with social impact at their core.  I believe that bringing in diverse perspectives can lead to more creative and inclusive product design. I’m excited to continue expanding my knowledge and skills within the UX field. I believe that good design starts from a position of open curiosity.
