Designer & Strategist.

Wearer of many UX hats. Aerialist on the weekends. Ecosystem problem solver. Resident AI/ML and GenAI subject matter expert. Proven shipper. Always hungry.

I’m a multi-disciplinary designer with experience in-house and as a consultant in a wide range of industries, including banking and fintech, insurance, HR/CRM, manufacturing, health tech, cloud computing, and most recently AI + ML Ops.

While my heart will always be happiest when I’m working with words, I’ve worn the hats of information architect, UX writer, content strategist, UX researcher, UX designer, product designer, visual designer, animator, interaction designer, accessibility advocate, innovation lead, UX strategist, and all-around problem solver.

I recently delivered the product experience of a lifetime, serving as the sole and lead designer on DigitalOcean’s GenAI Platform, an all-in-one no-code AI agent creation and management experience. In eight months, I designed and delivered a from-zero AI-agent building platform that includes four unique products, a comparative conversational UI, evaluation tools, a chatbot, tons of backend problem solving, documentation, and then had the honor to do the product announcement and demo on the day we released it to the public at DigitalOcean’s Deploy ‘25 Conference in January 2025.

Aside from being a full-time product designer at DigitalOcean, I also run the aerial arts program at a local climbing gym, where I get to flex my creative muscles (literally) in real life.

My free time usually entails walks on the beach with my partner and our dogs, reading voraciously, and more recently, panicking over our kitchen renovation

I love to talk and I’d love to talk. Feel free to get in touch.
