My approach is to find the win-win for every feature. What is the solution that genuinely adds value for the user and also meets the business objectives? These are the solutions that result in buy-in across stakeholders and align teams in common purpose.
Throughout my career, I've gained a diverse skill set that includes UX Design, UX Research, Motion Design, Visual Design, and Design Leadership.
I've established agile methods within design teams, unified multiple teams' personas into a single system, and helped create customer journeys across the organization. I also have extensive experience in communicating with executive stakeholders.
My proficiency with various AI tools is steadily expanding and evolving as I continually engage with new technologies and methodologies in the field.

Design isn’t finished when the product goes live. Design is an iterative process. Whether you are testing in a lab or in your live product, understanding what is working and what needs improvement is the difference between an MVP and achieving true product market fit.
My interests outside of work are as varied as my professional skills. I am a polymath committed to continuously learning new skills and improving them over time. I have a longstanding creative practice centered on studio photography and photo retouching. I enjoy woodworking and novice furniture building. My partner and I are also guardians of four distinctly, devious cats.
