I'm a user-centered product designer with diverse experience working with people to solve real-world challenges. My design approach is better informed by my past experiences in digital media, nonprofit management, and public education, all of which have influenced my work style: driven by impact and grounded by people.
When I'm not designing, I'm running, making ice cream, or traveling the world. In 2016 I returned from a year-long independent trip around the globe, spanning 25 countries across 5 continents, and in 2022 I took on a new adventure by designing and converting a camper van to explore the US and Latin America. Through these experiences I learned how to surf in Mexico, how to speak Spanish in Guatemala, how to wire a full solar electric system, and how to solve problems creatively with relentless optimism.
