Hello!

I'm a Chicago-based UX/Product Designer with over five years of experience leading user-centered design for a diverse range of clients—from healthcare systems to global brands. I am a strategic design leader who manages complex projects and thrives on solving intricate design puzzles while keeping the bigger picture in focus.

I'm naturally curious and I love understanding both user needs and business constraints. Whether I'm conducting user research, developing information architecture, creating wireframes and designs, or building design systems, I approach every project with a collaborative spirit and genuine excitement for what great design can accomplish. My background in art history instilled a deep appreciation for human experience and storytelling—skills that now fuel my approach to creating meaningful digital experiences.

When I'm not designing, you'll find me exploring my latest interests, planning my travel bucket list, or adding to my ever-growing collection of books and vinyl. I'm looking forward to bringing my strategic thinking and hands-on design skills to new challenges and industries.

Ready to collaborate on something great? Let's connect!
