About Thea

I’m a User Experience Designer based in Denver. I see experience design as another form of storytelling; it's just as challenging as fiction, but with its own tools and processes. Some tools are very useful in writing as well, so I've started sharing them here to help storytellers. On the flip side, I craft presentations for my work colleagues on more traditional storytelling tools such as the Hero's Journey, and how they can be used in our business.

I also write speculative stories that incorporate all of the elements I love: unique worlds, relatable villains, romance, familial bonds, and quite often technology and magic systems based on quantum physics (because I find it fascinating, and it runs in my family).

My fiction has been published by Translunar Traveler’s Lounge. I’ve been a finalist for both the Colorado Gold Writing Contest and the Parsec Ink Short Story Contest. I’ve attended the Lighthouse Writers Workshop and the 2018 Futurescapes Writers' Workshop. You can contact me here.
