hey there 👋🏼

I came up through healthcare, non-profits, and church ministry, a decade of being in the room with people navigating hard things. I moved into product design because software is how you do that for thousands of people at once.

Across those roles, I've learned that good products come from healthy systems: clear goals, real feedback loops, and the humility to iterate. I've often been the first or only product designer in the room, building design systems, workflow patterns, and ways of working from scratch.

I'm happiest during the problem solving process: mapping what's really happening for users, testing ideas quickly, and shaping processes that help cross-functional teams make better decisions together. My measure of success is simple: did we ship something that made real work easier for real people?

I prototype directly in React, demo from a working app, and hand off through the production repo. It's changing how my team builds, and it's changing what a designer can own.

Outside of work, I recharge in nature, roast my own coffee, and love to meet new people. I also watch an unreasonable number of cat videos 😸
