Get to know me
I didn’t come into product design through a straight path, and that’s become one of my strengths.
I started my career building and running real things across business operations, brand, and visual design. I’ve been a business owner, a chef, an event planner, and a designer, roles that taught me how decisions play out over time and how systems behave under pressure.
That background shaped how I think about product. My work in brand development taught me that products don’t exist in isolation. They support a vision, communicate values, and need to stay coherent as they scale. To me, good product design aligns systems, interfaces, and workflows with both the business behind them and the people using them.
In my product work, I’ve taken ownership of complex areas including internal tools, dashboards, scheduling flows, and multi-property systems. I’m comfortable working through ambiguity, mapping dependencies, and designing for real-world constraints rather than ideal scenarios. While my formal UX title history is recent, the way I work reflects a broader foundation in responsibility, collaboration, and decision-making that needs to hold up over time.
How I approach design
Designing for real constraints
I start by understanding the reality of the product—technical limitations, business needs, timelines, and edge cases.
Good design, to me, isn’t about ideal flows; it’s about making complex systems usable and resilient in real-world conditions.
Thinking in systems, not screens
I focus on how things connect over time: roles, states, dependencies, and downstream effects.
This systems-first mindset helps me design products that scale, stay consistent, and don’t fall apart as complexity grows.
Clarity through collaboration
Design doesn’t live in isolation. I work closely with product, engineering, and stakeholders to surface assumptions early and make informed decisions together.
Clear communication is just as important as clean UI
