My Story

I'm a product designer, researcher, and engineer with 15 years of experience designing and building consumer applications in the healthcare 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.
