My Story

I'm a product designer, researcher, and engineer with 15 years of experience designing and building consumer applications in the health and ed-tech space and B2B applications in public safety and field sales. I've led product, research, and design for multiple early-stage startups and have a proven track record of shipping products at scale.

I care deeply about the design decisions made on the products I work on and the final experience that makes it in front of customers. I believe that process and solid research is everything when it comes to getting design right and providing the best customer journey possible.

I now have extensive experience leading remote design and engineering teams from across the globe, and I'm excited for the next opportunity to bring that experience to a team who needs it.
