About Me

I’m a Product Designer with nearly a decade of experience turning complex workflows into thoughtful, scalable products. I’m drawn to messy problems — legacy systems, complicated logic, edge cases, and products that need to work for real people. I like figuring out how things work, understanding where they break down, and finding a better way forward.

Good design starts with asking better questions

I’m curious, I listen, and I ask a lot of questions (it's the former journalist in me). I enjoy working closely with users, product teams, engineers, and stakeholders to understand a problem and build toward the right solution.

I love the process of bringing something to life, brick by brick: establishing a strong foundation, figuring out how the pieces fit together, testing ideas, working through edge cases, and refining the details. I enjoy solving the problems along the way just as much as seeing the finished product.

I’m also always looking for what’s next. Lately, that’s meant exploring AI as a design and problem-solving tool — experimenting with new ways to think, prototype, and bring ideas to life.

I’ve always been driven to create

Long before I called myself a designer, I was making things. I built my first Geocities site as a kid, experimented with layouts in high school (and even won a County award), and eventually started a sports blog in college that grew into a top-10 sports blog on Google.

I loved building the brand, designing the site, creating content, and constantly asking, What could this become? Looking back, it was probably my first experience with product design — just without the title.

Outside of design

I’m a sports-obsessed, concert-loving, travel-hooked extrovert who loves meeting new people, finding a good story, and being the first person on the dance floor.

I’ve lived in the Sunshine State, the Bay State, and now the Golden State. Each move has pushed me somewhere new — and I think that curiosity is still one of the things that drives me today.
