Design is how
I show I care.

I've organized my life around meaningful experiences with others — whether that's creating a meal for friends, dreaming up a trip for my family, or designing a product that makes someone's day a little easier. That instinct to care about how things feel for people has always been at the center of everything I do.

My design career started in graphic design, where I developed a deep love for visual craft — color, composition, the way a well-made thing communicates without words. But everything shifted when I had the opportunity to collaborate on a mobile app. Watching people genuinely enjoy something our team had built from scratch — and seeing a photo-editing app hit #1 on the App Store within 12 hours of launch — made it undeniably clear: I wanted to spend my career designing experiences that actually change how people move through their days.

That realization led me to pursue my Master's in UX Design at the Maryland Institute College of Art, where I deepened my research practice and learned to pair visual instinct with user evidence. Now, with 15+ years of experience spanning startups, agencies, and enterprise organizations, I bring both sides to every project — the strategic and the aesthetic, the rigorous and the intuitive.

What's stayed constant across all of it is the belief that paying attention to details is how you show you care. Whether I'm building a design system for a team of developers, redesigning a physical space in my home, or mapping a user journey for a new product — I'm always asking the same question: what does this need to feel like for the person experiencing it?
