About Me

I’m a user experience designer based in Washington State with a research-first approach grounded in close collaboration with customers. Building trust and strong relationships allows me to better understand people’s needs and translate those insights into thoughtful design. I’m currently pursuing my master’s degree in Industrial and Organizational Psychology, which has broadened my perspective on human behavior, research, and how teams work best together. I’m a detail-oriented, data-driven researcher and a patient, curious designer, with a natural affinity for illustration and graphic design that helps me communicate complex ideas through clear, engaging stories.

I have a passion for solving puzzles—whether they’re as explicit as the New York Times Crossword (my longest streak is currently 1,329 days) or as nuanced as improving user productivity. I enjoy sitting with complex problems, testing ideas, and iterating until I find a solution that truly fits. I value collaboration and know when to lead, when to listen, and when to lean on the expertise of others.

In my free time, you’ll usually find me working my way through the This American Life archive, practicing yoga, or reading Tana French’s latest mystery novel. If you can’t find me, I’m probably out on a long, meandering walk with my pup.
