Since landing in tech over ten years ago, I've worked at agencies, startups and established enterprises. Across them all, I've solved challenging problems and developed a broad skillset that helps me accelerate teams toward success.

I’ve been fortunate to work alongside some incredibly talented and generous folks. By watching them work, and doing my best to live up to their example, I've developed a few core convictions that inform my daily work:
Design is a force-multiplier.
The best designers leverage their skills to spark conversations, eliminate ambiguity, and articulate vision. They generate enthusiastic alignment across teams and empower others to do great work.
Design is what you ship.
Pretty Figma files and fancy prototypes are great. But what matters most is the work that ends up in users' hands. Instilling quality from A to B requires conviction, iteration, and teamwork. That’s the job.
Design demands insatiable curiosity.
Effective designers never stop asking "Why?". They explore new products, venture into other disciplines, and embrace a spirit of play.
I’m at my best when tackling hard problems with passionate, curious teammates. I tend to explore widely, prototype early and often, and iterate obsessively. I have strong convictions and trust my instincts, but seek out and quickly embrace new information.
Over the past few years I’ve found fulfillment as both an individual contributor and manager and am currently open to Lead+ IC roles that afford opportunities to coach more junior team members.
Thanks for your time! If I might be a good fit for your team, let's chat!
