I've been wired for design for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I was drawn to art. As I got older, I realized what fascinated me even more was understanding how things worked. Design became the perfect intersection of creativity, logic, and problem solving.

I love uncovering what people need, then turning complexity into experiences that feel simple and intuitive. Whether I'm mapping a user journey, building a design system, or refining a single interaction, I'm always looking for the patterns that connect the bigger picture. That's why I've spent much of my career designing enterprise products in healthcare and other complex industries — my brain genuinely enjoys untangling messy systems.

I'm a hands-on designer who learns by making. I iterate quickly, prototype early, and enjoy working alongside engineers to bring ideas to life. My front-end background helps bridge design and development, but what really drives me is creating thoughtful, scalable solutions that are as functional as they are elegant.

Outside of work, I'm usually on a bike, exploring the Bay Area with my partner, catching live music or an art opening, or slowing down with a sketchbook or my guitar. At home, my cat (and steadfast familiar) Poe is never far away reminding me how to be Zen.
