I'm Tory—an experienced product designer living the dream in the small town of Frederick, Maryland.
Specializing in design thinking, I bring an empathetic and user-centric approach to problem-solving. At every stage of the process, my focus is on crafting solutions that not only deeply resonate with users but also achieve meaningful results for businesses.
My most recent and longest tenured work experience was at Netspend, where I held the position of senior product designer. While there, I led the design on a wide range of products, from customer acquisition to card activation, onboarding, and many of the core features. I learned invaluable lessons and refined my design skills through collaborating with cross-functional teams, gathering user feedback, and iterating on designs to create seamless and engaging experiences.
Outside of my professional life, you could say I have a mix of passions and obsessions. I'm not just an avid Orioles fan; I practically bleed orange and black. If I’m not catching a game, chances are I’m dissecting a new album. I can talk for hours about music and love all types of genres and artists—I also take pride in curating my top 10 list every year. And after living in Austin for 7 years, one of the best cities in the United States for food, I became quite the foodie. I continue to be on a never-ending quest to discover the most mind-blowing culinary delights (mainly pizza) wherever I'm at.
I am excited to take on new challenges and contribute my expertise to projects that push the boundaries of design and technology. If you have a project or opportunity that aligns with my vision and values, I would love to connect and explore how we can collaborate to create exceptional experiences together.
