I am a product designer with a passion for problem-solving. I apply systems thinking, user empathy, and a collaborative ethos to lead end-to-end design projects for multi-user, platform products. On my teams, I am a design mentor, a proponent of design systems, and a compelling storyteller of business and user goals. With care, I build tools that help others explore, create, and expand their lives.

I'm passionate about design — solving problems and crafting usable and beautiful experiences. Over the years, I’ve learned that the best solutions don’t come from rushing to answers, but from taking the time to truly understand the problem. Humility has become my most valuable design tool, and I see design as an ongoing balancing act: aligning user needs, business goals, and real-world constraints to create thoughtful, effective solutions.
When I’m not deep in design work, you’ll find me rock climbing, sipping coffee from one of the many mugs I’ve collected on my travels, or in my studio sewing, painting, and making digital art.
