Designer. Leader. Life Enthusiast.
14 years designing experiences, 6 years designing teams
I live to solve impactful challenges in thoughtful ways within products and within my teams
– that’s why I take a design thinking and continuous discovery approach to both.
Establishing ongoing, open communication with customers, users, and colleagues grows our understanding of everyone’s needs and expectations to truly develop empathy, allowing us to test and iterate purposefully within our products and within our teams.
This requires humility, steady reflection, and a growth mindset. We get to influence real change for real people together. This is why I lead by example balancing hands-on design work and leadership – elevating design quality, fostering collaborative partnerships, and implementing scalable process so each meeting or product touchpoint is intentional and delightful.
When I’m not working, working out, or learning new ways to bring my best self to work – you can find me at a market somewhere in the world buying beautiful earrings or devouring deliciously spicy food. When home, I’m likely binging a reality or dystopian series, playing in paint, doodling in procreate, or I’m heads down in a google sheet planning future memories with those I love. I am endlessly inspired by, and grateful for, everyone and everything around me.
My Values
Curiosity: Having a ‘seek to understand’ perspective paired with the desire to continuously learn prepares you to ask good questions to uncover “the why” and to answer “your why” ensuring best-in-class solutions and collaboration.
Accountability: You control how you show up for yourself and the team. Take the time to identify who you want to be and why, and set growth goals so you can bring your best self to the team because teamwork makes the dreamwork.
Transparency: Your work shouldn’t seem like magic–letting people in fosters empathy, understanding, and accelerates progress.
Positivity: Having positive intent and assuming positive intent fuels respectful collaboration and can prevent misunderstandings. It’s also important to show gratitude by celebrating everyone’s valuable contributions, big or small because no one does their best work in a vacuum.
