A highly organized, systems thinking, thoughtful design leader with over 20 years of experience.

Specializing in Product Design and UX. My experience spans a variety of projects, including mobile apps, design systems, site rebrands and large-scale digital products. I strive to ensure open communication and cross-team collaboration to keep a product moving forward. My digital tool of choice is Figma, but in my spare time, I prefer working with a paint brush 🎨.
