Oh hi there.

For nearly eight memorable years, I had the privilege of teaching high school math. That chapter shaped how I think, collaborate, and lead - growing my emotional intelligence, attention to detail, and perseverance.

Always the student of life, I enrolled in an MBA program, and during a course on Digital Transformation, I realized I wanted to scale my impact. How could I use my education background in a more creative, far-reaching way? That’s when I discovered UX design… and almost instantly, something clicked, and I realized where I belonged (melodramatic, I know - but true).

Within minutes, I was deep into research. The overlap between UX, education, and business blew me away. From empathizing with users the way I once did with students, to using data to solve real-world problems—UX just made sense.

It lets me stay creative, design experiences that genuinely help people, and (hopefully) make someone’s day a little brighter - user or client alike.

My design approach.

Human-centered & empathy driven

I design with people at the core. My process starts by listening to understand and observing, making sure that every solution reflects the real needs and motivations of the people who are using the products.

Collaboration and Iterations

Design is never completed in isolation. It takes a team to make things work, and I believe in the power of cross-functional teams, working closely with product and project managers, developers and subject matter experts. I believe in feedback, learning quickly and constantly iterating to make our products better.

Inclusivity & accessible practices

As a CPAAC certified professional and a former educator, I embed accessible practices into every step of the design process, making accessibility a non-negotiable in designs.

Strategic & systems-oriented

I design with the big picture in mind, aligning user needs with business goals. I consider how designs scale across tools and how today’s choices shape tomorrow’s opportunities. My goal is to build products and tools that adapt, grow, and continue delivering value over time.

A few things I love.

When I’m not designing, you’ll probably find me listening to music (mostly throwbacks), eating, doing something active, lost in a book, traveling or giving my dog entirely too much attention. Here’s what’s been filling my cup lately.
