A little about me.

I'm a curious, people-first designer who thrives at the intersection of empathy, strategy, and impact. With a strong foundation in UX and product design, I create thoughtful, data-informed experiences that solve real problems, bring joy to users, and drive measurable business results. I’m energized by collaboration, skilled at navigating ambiguity, and love turning complex challenges into simple, scalable solutions.

I lead with integrity and strive to be a positive influence on those around me. I’m passionate about fostering inclusive, growth-minded teams where trust, creativity, and excellence thrive. I bring optimism, clarity, and a commitment to continuously raising the bar.

My design process.

Great design is more than a destination—it’s the journey that gets us there. I believe in a process that’s curious, collaborative, and purposeful—blending creative thinking with strategic problem-solving.

Listen & align.

I start by asking the right questions: What are we solving? Who are we solving it for? I aim to understand business goals, user pain points, and team constraints before anything else.

Research & uncover insights.

From competitor analysis to user testing and behavioral data, I ground my design decisions in real-world insights. If we don’t know the answer, we figure it out.
