Hello

I am passionate about solving complex problems through thoughtful, high-quality design that bridges strategy and creativity.

My journey began as a fine artist, but I quickly gravitated toward digital design in college, where I discovered the satisfaction of building user-centric solutions through front-end development. This hands-on experience sparked my interest in the intersection of business and design, leading me to earn my MBA in 2022 to deepen my understanding of how design drives business outcomes.

With extensive experience collaborating with and leading multidisciplinary teams, I excel at guiding projects from initial concept through to final production—including writing code when needed. In my current role as a principal designer, I work closely with stakeholders to transform ideas into impactful products. I am known as a strong operator and a go-to problem solver who gets things done.

I am always eager to expand my knowledge, especially when it comes to understanding the backend systems that power seamless customer experiences. My curiosity drives me to continually push the boundaries of what’s possible in design and technology.

Outside of work, I’m an extroverted introvert who enjoys the outdoors, home projects, yoga, pilates, hiking, golf, and travel. I also have a particular fondness for pinot noir and cats. Originally from the Midwest, I’ve lived in Austin and now call Dallas, TX home.
