Austin native, human behavior junkie, and coffee addict.
After spending a decade as a fashion designer in New York, living my actual childhood dream, I started to find that the most fulfilling part of the job wasn’t actually the clothing. Working alongside sales to turn customer patterns into actionable design decisions revealed how much problem-solving fueled my creativity. That mix of psychology, data, and creativity sparked my transition into product design.
When I left fashion to make a hard pivot into UX Design, I completed General Assembly’s UX Design Immersive and felt I had truly found my calling. For the past eight years, I’ve had the opportunity design solutions for a wide variety of clients from small B2C startups to enterprise SaaS companies. I thrive on learning and am especially energized in the research and discovery phase, where asking questions can unlock unexpected opportunities. (Basically, I found a way to monetize my overthinking.)
Outside of work, you can find me taking advantage of Austin’s live music scene, experimenting with craft projects I may or may not finish, or solving puzzles just for fun.
I’m actively exploring new opportunities, with a focus on full-time hybrid or in-office roles, and I’m open to relocating for the right fit.

My Design Core Values
Never stop asking why.
We've all been there—stuck in that endless loop of asking "but whyyyy?" While it might get a little annoying elsewhere, here it actually pays off. By digging deeper with each "why," I uncover the true root of the problem that needs fixing, rather than just slapping on a temporary patch.
Balance is everything.
Whether it's balancing visual elements on a page or aligning user goals with business objectives, I tackle every challenge from all angles. I genuinely enjoy solving puzzles, and discovering how all the pieces fit perfectly together is what keeps the work exciting.
Do the most good for the most people.
Every voice matters in product design—the CEO shaping the vision, the occasional app user who tries it out and moves on, and the engineer ensuring a reliable backend. As designers, we’re the link that brings all these perspectives together. It’s our job to find solutions that work for everyone while always keeping the user front and center.
