A Bit
About Me
Before becoming a designer, I served in the U.S. Army, specializing in preventive medicine. There, I learned the value of systems, structure, and designing for impact—lessons that now shape how I approach user experience.
I design thoughtful and functional experiences that help people navigate real-world complexity with ease.
Design Philosophy
I create intentional experiences that prioritizing clarity, inclusion, and security in every design decision.

Beyond the Screen
You’ll often find me hunting down the best local eats, perfecting my home café setup, or traveling to spark creativity and gather fresh perspectives. Always down to share (or swap!) coffee and food recs—especially if you’re in Seattle.
During my time in the Army 🪖
My experience in the Army challenged me in profound ways—physically, mentally, and emotionally. It shaped my values, deepened my perspective, and instilled a level of resilience and discipline that continues to guide how I approach both life and work. Can you spot where I am?
