About Me
Designing with purpose and intention
I'm a San Francisco-based product designer who believes that great design is invisible—it just works. With a background in cognitive psychology, I bring a research-first approach to every project.
When I'm not pushing pixels, you'll find me hiking the Bay Area trails, experimenting with film photography, or mentoring aspiring designers through ADPList.
What I Bring
Systems Thinking
I approach design holistically, considering how individual components fit into larger ecosystems and scale over time.
User Advocacy
Research-driven design decisions ensure we're solving real problems, not just making assumptions about user needs.
Cross-functional
I thrive at the intersection of design, engineering, and product, translating between disciplines fluently.

How I Work
My Design Process
Discover
Understanding the problem space through user research, stakeholder interviews, and competitive analysis. I dig deep to uncover insights that inform strategy.
Define
Synthesizing research into actionable frameworks—personas, journey maps, and problem statements that align the team around user needs.
Design
Rapid iteration through sketches, wireframes, and high-fidelity prototypes. I test early and often to validate assumptions before building.
Deliver
Partnering closely with engineering to ship polished experiences. I stay involved through QA to ensure design intent translates to production.
