hello again

I'm a product designer with over a decade of experience across agencies, startups, and enterprise companies — and I've loved every messy, collaborative, pixel-perfect moment of it.

My path started in graphic design at the University of Utah, where I fell in love with the visual craft. But somewhere along the way I discovered that the why behind design decisions was just as exciting as the decisions themselves. That curiosity pulled me deeper into UX — into research, discovery, and the satisfying challenge of untangling a complex problem before ever opening Figma.

Over the years I've worked across a wide range of products: personalized nutrition apps, smart home technology, internal tools for Google, HR software, and more. I've grown from individual contributor to UX manager and team lead — and in doing so, learned something important about myself: I'm at my best when I'm in the work. I made the intentional choice to return to IC roles because that's where I do my most meaningful design, and I'm now focused on growing into a Staff Product Designer.

Right now I'm looking for a role at a smaller company or startup, where I can go deep on problems that matter, flex both my UX and visual design muscles, and be a meaningful part of building something great.

I'm a team-first designer. I thrive in close-knit teams where we lean into each other's strengths, debate ideas openly, and actually enjoy the process of getting to a great solution together. I love the early messy phases — research, brainstorming, whiteboarding — just as much as I love the moment a design finally clicks visually.
