ABOUT ME

If a design systems nerd and a storyteller had a kid who also cared way too much about motion timing, accessibility, and emotional impact — that’s probably me. Equal parts craft and care.

This site is just a glimpse of my work — and still evolving.

I share deeper case studies and process breakdowns during portfolio conversations.Over the past few years at Included Health, I’ve been designing for clarity, trust, and care — from AI-powered tools like Dot to plan comparison and provider match experiences.

Before that, I built immersive brand and experiential work that blended story, technology, and emotion.

While my focus is currently on senior IC roles, I’ve also led and mentored teams, shaped design systems, and helped scale the craft and culture behind complex products.

Player-coach is still my happy place.Recently, I’ve been exploring small prototypes that merge AI and motion — testing how expressive interfaces can make digital experiences feel more human, the kind that make people smile and make sense.

I also founded Let’s Iterate, a space for designers to reflect, reset, and grow. Through 1:1 sessions, I support product designers and design leaders at all stages of their careers — offering portfolio reviews, project critiques, career strategy, and design therapy.

It’s design help without the ego: thoughtful, low-key, and grounded in real-world design challenges.

My background bridges brand, UX, visual, and motion design — grounded in storytelling and systems thinking. I care deeply about useful, beautiful products — and even more about the people and culture that make them possible.

Brand experience

human experience

My early work at experiential agencies taught me to combine storytelling, technology, and emotion to build immersive experiences using tools years ahead of their time. That foundation shaped how I understand people’s reactions to emerging technologies like AI and AR. In the tech space, I apply that same creative and human-centered mindset to design products that connect, empower, and inspire, while mentoring others to do the same.
