About Me

I'm a product designer who builds accessible, human-centered experiences for complex problems. My work has shaped design systems at CNN and reimagined digital banking at BNY, always with a focus on the people using what I create.

My design journey began in accessibility, working with individuals with disabilities. That foundation taught me good design always centers on understanding needs and solving pain points.

I believe the best design happens when you truly understand the problem you're solving. That means research, empathy, and a willingness to challenge assumptions and personal biases.

Outside of Design

Born and raised in Jupiter, FL, I grew up exploring the beach and swamplands, learning about plant ecology and the natural world around me.

When I was 11 years old, I went to an estate sale in Harshaw, WI and got my first gaming console (Gameboy Advance) with Pokemon Emerald. Since then, I've grown a passion for thrifting, vintage, and antiques.

Now, I explore this curiosity through design, tech, and art. I'm currently experimenting with analog tech (CRT video synthesis, vintage digicams), as well as clothing mending and sashiko.
