I didn’t take the traditional path into design - I built my foundation as an educator and curriculum developer before transitioning into product. That background taught me to think in systems, design for accessibility, and create the "scaffolding" users need to succeed.

Over the past 4 years, I’ve led high-impact redesigns across global industries: architecting a 200+ component design system for a streaming platform with 66M+ users , building a mobile-first B2B platform that cut bounce rates by 30% , and currently guiding a full-site overhaul as a Lead Designer at an independent news organization. My favorite part of the process? Finding clarity in chaos and creating systems that make complex experiences feel effortless.

When I’m not designing, you’ll find me making something, whether that's a fresh batch of kombucha, cookies, or the perfect espresso. I play soccer (it's slowly becoming my entire life) and tennis, hang out with my cats, and am always planning my next trip. I bring that same curiosity and hands-on energy into my design work: I love asking the right questions, experimenting until it clicks, and building with purpose.
