Designing for impact means being there from concept to launch, and that's where I do my best work.

I'm a product designer who believes the best experiences come from asking the right questions early and designing with intention every step of the way. I thrive in end-to-end design, from shaping concepts and collaborating with partners to building polished solutions alongside developers.

At Capital One, I design fraud and servicing experiences that empower users and build trust. I’m especially drawn to mobile design and systems challenges, where I can bring clarity to complexity and craft intuitive, human-centered experiences.

I taught design methods at the University of Washington, guiding over 100 students through user-centered practices, an experience that sharpened how I communicate, think critically, and lead with empathy. I approach every challenge with curiosity, always looking for ways to learn, improve, and design with more intention.

My design philosophy

Collaborate with intention

Design doesn’t happen in a vacuum. I value close collaboration with cross-functional partners and believe that alignment early on leads to better outcomes down the line.

Build with purpose

Every decision should serve both the user and the system. I look for solutions that are not only usable, but scalable, sustainable, and adaptable as products grow.

Craft with care

I believe thoughtful craftsmanship shapes the entire experience. I pay close attention to the finer points, knowing they lead to better usability, clearer communication, and stronger trust in the product.
