My Story

I'm an always curious design mind who's worked for enterprise companies, start-ups and non-profits in the Travel, Healthcare and Gig-economy spaces. I've worked over the past 10+ years crafting user-centered experiences that make an impact, and fostering high-performing design team cultures.

I enjoy taking on complex problems, setting design strategy and breaking it down into executable steps to create intuitive, highly -functional and beautiful products. I consider myself a player-coach in my personal and professional life, as I feel one of my greatest gifts is encouraging and mentoring others to do their best work.

Outside of work, I enjoy a good book, traveling the world, my kid's sporting events, summer festivals, spending time with family and friends and exploring new hobbies. I’ve founded a few small businesses in my past, so I also love to stay connected to local businesses and entrepreneurs.

My design values

I believe great product design is:

Data and reseach informed

I’m passionate about growing and building teams that are data and research informed, beginning each project with a strong problem or opportunity statement

Collaborative

The best products I’ve helped build have started with a team of PMs, Designers and Engineers with strong collaboration and understanding of one another’s craft.

Inclusive

I believe in ensuring that every product I have the pleasure to touch is not only accessible to everyone, but embracing the concept of universal design.
