Background

Background


"I use my unique perspective to understand the needs of others. I seek to design with consistency, innovation, and empathy."


"I use my unique perspective to understand the needs of others. I seek to design with consistency, innovation, and empathy."


"I use my unique perspective to understand the needs of others. I seek to design with consistency, innovation, and empathy."

Growing up, my mom shared with me an appreciation for beauty and my dad for strategic thinking—two qualities that naturally draw me to design as a tool for solving problems.


I’m driven by a genuine desire to help people, which fuels my passion for creative problem solving. My go-to approach is "How would I want this person to help if I were them?", guiding my user centered designs.

When I’m not designing you can find me cooking NYT recipes, playing guitar badly, and hanging out with dogs & loved ones!
