I make things easier for people

I love removing barriers, improving lives, and bringing structure to the shapeless. I thrive at the intersection of creativity and logic, blending big ideas with practical solutions.

With over a decade of design experience, I bring a sharp eye for detail and a knack for playful, innovative problem-solving. Iteration is my best friend, and I specialize in designing for complex healthcare systems.

When I’m not deep in design, you’ll find me surfing in the Pacific, experimenting with AI art, salsa dancing the night away, or hanging w my cat, Mugatu.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Take a break!

    The power of stepping away to clear your mind is POWERFUL. Nothing is worse than spinning your wheels and getting nowhere.I love a good beach walk, skate or anything NOT in front of a screen to shake up my ideas + get a refresh.

  • Yes, I’m a middle child!

    When I say it comes naturally to me, I mean I was coerced into this role since the moment my little brother was born. I love compromising, discussing, hearing people out and finding resolutions where everyone feels happy and seen.

  • Seek to Understand

    While negative feedback can feel so personal in the moment, I try to understand where the person is coming from.They usually are bringing up a valid concern in regards to a user or business need. I ask alot of questions and clarify, by the end, I’m usually grateful for the pushback because ultimately it helps to develop a stronger product.
