My Approach
Design Has Impact
Design is a powerful tool that can be used as a force for good in the world. I seek to design with care and intent, and center solutions on the people who matter most.
People Matter
Solutions should be people-oriented, and the voices that are at the table in the design process matters. I believe that empowering users is key to creating meaningful and responsive solutions.
Ask Questions
Asking the right questions can be just as important as the answers. I love to learn and collaborate, and often find my greatest sources of inspiration in the people and world around me.
Try Things
You never know until you try – incredibly cliché but incredibly true. I’m energized by trying new things, and embrace an iterative process for exploring and creating thoughtful design solutions.
About
I’m excited about creating positive and thoughtful human-centered experiences.
A practical idealist at my core, I am driven by the belief that design has a profound impact in and on the world. I love to learn and feel most in my element when I’m applying creative problem-solving to complex concepts and ideas.
When I'm not designing, you'll find me playing tennis, bouldering, trying not to fall off my mountain bike (with mixed results), or at the beach playing frisbee with my dog (and best friend) Riley.
