I’m a seasoned Product Designer with marketing background based in Seattle, WA.

My dual expertise allows me to collaborate closely with distributed design and engineering teams, ensuring solutions align with strategy and available resources.

I thrive on finding robust and elegant design solutions for complex projects and often work directly with stakeholders, cross-functional teams, and partners.

I currently collaborate with a non-profit in the publishing industry, where I have the opportunity to combine my passion for digital and literature.


Expertise

I have 15 years of experience delivering successful B2B projects for a wide breadth of industries, oftentimes from the ground up to the final products. I have a passion for creating experiences that will improve users' lives and approach every problematic with an open and curious mind. I specialize in:

Web Accessibility

Accessible design isn’t just inclusive—it’s smart business. It broadens your audience and improves usability. Often, it's simple changes—higher contrast text, larger CTA buttons—that make a big difference. Because at some point, everyone benefits from accessibility.
