For anyone
I'm a designer who cares about helping people figure stuff out, and specialize how UX design proves being user informed & evidence driven leads to better results and customer value.
Recruiter
I'm a product designer with 11 years of experience across enterprise, startups, & freelance, and I nerd out about problem/opportunity discovery, strategic thinking, customer-centric storytelling, & design systems. I'm actively looking for a new role.

Being a good designer means you are a good problem solver and an autonomous leader through ambiguity. I'm an advocate who initiates and owns projects with long term vision and long lasting results while identifying quick wins.

I'm a systems thinking driven architect with a knack for simplifying complex flows. I love creating concepts and patterns together with you and make something we're proud of to solve people problems.

I'll partner with you to form the product vision together with business and engineering, and I'm a translator between business needs and design work to create the highest impact possible.
Engineer
I am highly technical with a BS in Software Engineering from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. While (this != developer), I know how to use my background to speak with you and know my way to communicate cross functional partnerships.

[Six fundamentals you can expect from me]

I'm curious and love learning.

Learning how to learn just rubs my brain in the right way.

(Like you being curious to see these.)

Design is storytelling.

Every product has a story behind it, and those stories connect people through a shared experience.


Give yourself room to play.

I believe it is important to get uncomfortable and become a novice again when you feel stuck to pick up new abilities.

Life is too short for bad matchups.

Just like learning a new game or a new skill, I figure out what is lacking.

Figuring out who's the beatdown.

Strategy is foundational.

The best design decisions start from the ground up with leadership collaboration.


We are all in this together.

Designers need to draw from and cultivate diverse interests than stick to voices who share similar backgrounds and demographics.
