My philosophy, 'Design Democracy: Design is of, by, for and with the people,'
I believe that design isn't merely a solution, it's a process, a fundamental need, a pathway to progress, and an instrument for inclusive change.
Who am I?
My Background
I'm a Seattle-based Product Designer with 3+ years of experience designing digital experiences rooted in real people, real contexts, and lasting impact.
I'm drawn to the spaces where complexity meets humanity. Where a spreadsheet or dashboard becomes a teacher's lifeline. Where a form isn't just bureaucracy, but someone's pathway to healthcare or financial security. Where public services are really designed to make life easier and more delightful. I thrive in the messy, meaningful problems that require you to think in systems while caring deeply about the user.
My approach blends rigorous research with intentional design. I build design systems that scale, conduct research that informs strategy, and create solutions rooted in real contexts. Whether I'm designing for direct user interactions or shaping the infrastructure that enables thousands of experiences, I'm thinking about impact at every level.
I'm especially energized by roles where I can work across multi-modal interactions and holistic systems, where culture, sustainability, accessibility and ethics aren't afterthoughts but foundations. I believe in designing not just products, but the values behind them ✨
Human Values?
How I Work
Design x Tech x Business
I'm naturally curious and proactive, the person who asks "why?" three times before accepting an answer. I move fluidly between deep research dives and rapid prototyping, comfortable with ambiguity but driven to bring clarity. Cross-functional collaboration energizes me. I translate between engineering constraints, business goals, and user needs without losing sight of what matters most.
Beyond the Work
☕x 🎶 x 🐕🦺
When I'm not designing, you'll find me on a mission to find Seattle's best coffee, curating playlists that range from indie folk to rock bangers, or befriending every dog in a five-block radius. I believe the best designers bring their whole selves to their work, curiosity, humor, and humanity included.

Toolkit
My Tools & Craft
I've built up a versatile toolkit over the years, moving between traditional and emerging design practices. I'm always learning, always adapting to new technologies, and always asking: how can this tool serve the people we're designing for?
The Human Side?
My Life Beyond Pixels
Outside of design, my life revolves around food that makes my taste buds dance, indulging in art and craft projects, having meaningful conversations, creating fun illustrations, going on exciting adventures, and tackling the challenges that come my way!
