Meticulous. Adaptable. Collaborative.
As a Senior Product Designer, I’m all about creating intuitive, visually captivating experiences that strike the perfect balance between function and aesthetics. I’m passionate about prototyping—bringing ideas to life fast and fine-tuning every little detail until everything just clicks. I thrive in collaborative environments, partnering closely with cross-functional teams to align design with both business goals and user needs. My ultimate aim? To deliver products that aren’t just beautiful but are also impactful, highly functional, and a joy to use.
When I’m not diving deep into designs in Figma, you’ll find me out running with my two huskies, Keke and Kylo, who make every mile a mini adventure. I’m also a proud bird nerd, always on the lookout for new feathered friends to photograph—seriously, I can talk birds all day! Whether it’s hitting a new trail, enjoying the newest vegan restaurant , or kicking back in cozy sweats while binging the latest Netflix craze, I’m all about savoring life's simple pleasures.
