I’ve always been drawn to understanding people. Before design, I earned a B.A. in Psychology and worked in the mental health field, which taught me to listen closely, notice the details, and seek to understand the people on the other side of the screen. That foundation helps me design with empathy and intention, translating what I know about human behavior, cognition, and emotion into products that feel intuitive, reduce friction, and anticipate user needs at every touchpoint.

I’ve led end-to-end projects across startups and small teams, often wearing many hats and pushing work forward independently. But I’m at my best when I’m collaborating: sharing early ideas, asking thoughtful questions, and building alongside smart, kind teammates. I’m most energized by the challenge of figuring out what’s not working, what users actually need, and how to design for growth. I care about crafting experiences that are genuinely enjoyable, and I’m always excited to work with low-ego teams who value curiosity, openness, and setting high standards.
