I'm a well-rounded designer with a strong product sense. I've nurtured scrappy ideas to executive-backed initiatives at startups, flexed my service-design muscles across systems at scaleups, and used my business acumen to solve intricate problems at public companies. Creating something meaningful with keen attention to the smallest details is core to who I am. I'm lucky that I get to do this for a living while making useful things for others, in ways that feel natural to me: empathetically, creatively, and with a high bar for design excellence.
My favorite part of the product design lifecycle is helping people envision the "what can be" through prototypes—to break down barriers and make ideals feel tangible. I'm a natural leader. I find myself in positions rallying teams behind a cause and helping us find ways to get things done. I enjoy collaboration and being inspired by people of diverse backgrounds, and tying it all together to build something we can be proud of.
Core Principles
The audience isn't just the people you build for—it's also the folks you show up in meetings with, write design briefs or make artifacts for, and storytell to.
Take pride in polishing the small stuff because the most unassuming design choice can imprint something extraordinary for users.
I take my craft seriously but I don't take myself seriously. Laughing and having fun alongside the people you're building with is underrated.
