Get to know me

A sneak peek about me.

Human-centered design is what challenges and inspires me. With a background in business and 5+ years in product design & branding, I bring both strategy and craft to the table—always looking for resourceful ways to work within constraints and ship great work. I care a lot about the “why” behind what we build and love working with cross-functional teams to turn ideas into impactful products. For the past 3.5 years, I was helping to build a platform to modernize and digitize North American trucking freight logistics at Rose Rocket.

Recently, I spent the past three months travelling South America, flexing my adventure muscle and gaining new perspective. Hiking the W Trek in Patagonia and Salkantay Trail to Machu Picchu, or travelling to small remote towns in Brazil or Ecuador, travel fuels my creativity and reminds me to stay open, adaptable, and always learning.

When I'm not doing the above, you can find me doing anything craft related, attending a trivia night, attempting to use my new camera (Ricoh GR III), playing Euchre with friends, or dancing away at a concert.
