About
I help teams make sense of messy journeys and design solutions that don’t just move metrics, but actually improve people’s experience. I’m a product designer and strategist who likes research-backed discovery, analytics, and collaborative problem solving with development, business, and ops.

Human side
Beyond design, I’m a runner, volunteer, and advocate for work that supports real users and communities, not just shareholder value. What keeps me interested in my work is tackling complexity: finding the right questions, mapping the details, and turning uncertain projects into clear, actionable plans. You’ll find I’m happiest in the weeds!
