what I look like on a good day

what I look like on a good day

My path into product design didn’t follow a straight line—it started with music. I spent years chasing harmonies and layering meaning into sound. That mix of structure and emotion stuck with me, and now it shows up in how I design: part logic, part creative intuition.

I’ve worn a lot of hats—researcher, writer, strategist, builder—sometimes all in one day. With a Master’s in Communication and experience across healthcare, hardware, and scrappy startups, I’ve learned to thrive in ambiguity, ask better questions, and lead by listening.

What gets me up in the morning is the puzzle: turning messy, complex ideas into something that feels simple, honest, and human. I believe design should make people feel seen. When it tells the right story, it connects with users, aligns teams around a shared purpose, and creates experiences people actually want to return to.

When I’m not sketching flows or fine-tuning copy, you’ll probably find me painting while sipping wine, playing with my dog Siu (pronounced “see you”), or checking out the new it spot with killer branding.
