I am deeply interested in how design directly influences and impacts the human experience and it feels important to use my creative/professional endeavors to help bring more inquiry and beauty into the world. I think about Product Design holistically, combining my experience with UX, UI, and visual design to find the best solution. I stay curious, always ask WHY, and love being a part of the HOW coming to life.
I design with intention, have a great eye for details, collaborate well and often, enjoy involving cross-functional teams in the design process, and use my empathy and creativity to solve complex problems.
When not behind a computer, I love to travel, dance, learn history, seek out new experiences, swim, cook, nerd out on music, sing karaoke, and spend time with my partner, Cheraya, my pups, Maggie and Scamper.
