About

The journey so far

Rooted in curiosity, designing with purpose

 

My career has taken me across financial services, healthcare and enterprise platforms, including work with U.S. Bank, McKesson and Twitter ( now X Platform). I’ve grown from a hands-on designer into a design leader—guiding research, experience strategy, end-to-end product design and multidisciplinary teams. Through every role, I’ve remained focused on simplifying complex systems and creating accessible experiences that work for customers and the business.

​

More recently, I’ve explored how data and responsible AI can make products more useful and intuitive while remaining grounded in real customer needs.

​

​

​Outside of work, I recharge by hiking, cooking and spending time with my family. 

These moments keep me curious, grounded and connected to the people I design for.
