The best design decisions happen at the intersection of deep user empathy and clear business thinking. I work in that space.

Research, design,
and code.

I'm a Principal UX/UI designer with frontend engineering depth — which means I can take a design from whiteboard to working code. I specialize in complex enterprise software and have led projects from discovery research through design system architecture and production implementation.

I'm obsessed with finding new ways to make complex information accessible to everyone.
