Designing at the intersection of people, systems, and decisions.

Research-backed product design, systems thinking, and a growing interest in responsible AI all shape how I work.

Bio

I’m a product designer who enjoys taking complicated problems and making them feel simple. I use research to understand how people actually use a product, where things get confusing, and how design can make the experience clearer and easier.

My Path to Design

My path to design wasn’t linear. I started with a bachelor’s degree in Political Science, where I learned to analyze systems, question assumptions, and approach problems from multiple perspectives.

Long before I designed interfaces, I was learning how to understand people, systems, and the structures that shape decision-making in our society. That foundation still shapes how I work today.

How I Design

I’ve worked across mobile and web products in complex, regulated environments, collaborating with product managers, engineers, and researchers to take ideas from research and early concepts to production.

I work primarily in Figma, but along the way I’ve gotten the basics of coding (mostly HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python and SwiftUI) and this helps me think beyond the interface and design with implementation in mind.

I’ve been building with AI, and that has made me think a lot about AI-powered experiences and how we build clarity, transparency, and human control into them. My work at CSL Behring included research into building AI experiences, which shaped how I think about trust, feedback, and when AI genuinely adds value.

I’m exploring motion design as another way to make digital experiences more intuitive, using thoughtful movement to improve feedback and guide attention.

I may not have seven years of experience, but give me a challenge and a little time, and I can learn just about anything. I have a pretty solid track record of figuring things out.

Outside Work

Outside of design, you’ll probably find me deep in a video game, traveling, or spending time with family and friends.
