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?

My blog posts

I use writing as a way to reflect on my journey — from military to UX, and everything I’m learning along the way. These posts are a mix of case studies, design thoughts, and career transitions.
