About Me

I’m a Product Designer with six years of experience designing products for complex, regulated industries. I’m usually most interested in the problems that are a little messy: systems with a lot of moving parts, workflows that have grown over time, and products where solving the problem means understanding what’s going on beneath the surface.


I’m deeply curious to find out how things work and what happens when you start pulling those things apart. That curiosity has taken me from redesigning operational workflows to exploring how AI might support clinical decision-making.


That mindset carries beyond my work, too. I’m a textile artist and a Muay Thai fighter, two practices that have taught me a lot about discipline, resilience, and staying open to being uncomfortable while I figure things out. Both have shaped how I approach design, which is with curiosity, attention to detail, and a willingness to keep learning.
