A bit about me
I enjoy creating order out of chaos. Anything from a puzzle to a piece of furniture to a complex UI. I love my career because I'm constantly challenged to translate abstract concepts into viable, delightful products.
Outside of work, I’m an avid photographer, traveler, and dancer. My 2025 consisted of teaching English in Colombia to working at a dance school to embarking on a solo motorcycle trip. I have even bigger plans for 2026!

How I design
I see design as a philosophy to manage how people, constraints, and systems interact to accomplish goals.
No matter the challenge, I use this philosophy to understand user and business goals, then design products that are intuitive, efficient, and delightful to use.
Empower each person
Always start by empathizing with real people. Understand their daily experiences, struggles, and motivations before starting to design
Craft each interaction
Design every touch point based on real data and user goals to ensure interactions are intuitive, efficient, and satisfying
Test & iterate
Prototype and test early and often to validate ideas, see real behavior, and iterate on designs until they work for everyone
Align our goals
Negotiate and balance user needs, business objectives, and technical constraints to design cohesive, market-ready products
Simplify it
Behind all the process, tools, and terminology, design is fundamentally this:
“The conscious and intuitive effort to impose meaningful order.”
- Victor Papanek
- Austrian-born American Designer and Educator
Amazing simplicity and every word carries deep meaning. That quote has been my favorite for years and it’s my north star whenever I need to realign myself.
I’m cool, I swear.

If you’ve read this far, we’ll probably get along.
