Hello, world. I'm MK.
I'm currently at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee leading the UX push to reshape the way we present data analytics in healthcare.
In my previous life as a "ski bum" in Jackson Hole, I worked for Stio as a clothing designer, product developer and product line manager. I guided seasonal color palettes, worked with the product team to create each season's collection and managed the product line during development. After my time in the outdoor apparel industry, I expanded my design skills from clothing to the web, teaching myself HTML, CSS, and Javascript. I took courses in UX design and research and began taking on small projects for local businesses. My scope of work eventually expanded and I landed my current role with BCBST. Not only do I have the reporting and analytics experience side of healthcare and am obviously also a consumer, but my father and husband are providers. I have a unique perspective of seeing various aspects of how applications in this space are used.
When not working, I'm usually hanging with my family: husband David, son Max, daughter Iggy and pup Taco. We love snowboarding, whitewater rafting, rock climbing, camping and just generally being outdoors.
