I'm a UX and product designer. I spent years teaching writing, illustrating, and designing surface patterns before I ever touched a wireframe — and that still influences how I work. I think about what an experience communicates and how it makes people feel: the language, tone, colors, typography, and imagery.
And I love listening to stories! I ran interviews where people teared up as they shared bits of themselves and their families — moments I still carry with me, both as a person and a designer.
Nice to meet you!
The Crossover Skillset
My background shaped how I think, not just what I design.

The Facilitator
I learned clarity is kindness. Years of explaining complex concepts to students of different levels taught me how to break down ambiguity and create an inclusive experience in the classroom.

The Visual Storyteller
I learned to guide the eye. My background in art ensures that my designs aren't just functional; they use hierarchy, balance, and visual rhythm to lead users intuitively through a flow.

The Systems Thinker
I learned the power of the pattern. Creating seamless repeats requires an obsession with consistency and grids. I bring that same rigor to building scalable Design Systems where every component fits perfectly.
