I've always asked the big questions.

​

Philosophy taught me how to seek understanding. Writing taught me how to turn understanding into connection. Design gave me the opportunity to transform both into something tangible—experiences that shape how people live, work, and interact with the world around them.

​

I'm endlessly curious about people and the systems they inhabit. I believe great design happens when empathy meets strategy, and when answers to complex questions become experiences that help people feel more capable, confident, and understood.​

​

When I'm not designing, you'll usually find me armchair philosophizing, baking pies from scratch, tending to my ever-growing collection of orchids, feasting on potato tacos, and/or learning how to play electric guitar. I am not a natural at music, but I love a challenge and learning new things. I'm currently working on mastering the guitar solo in Nirvana's Smells like Teen Spirit.
