About
Product designer with over five years of experience leading 0–1 design across education, finance, and enterprise tech. I’ve shipped products end to end, built systems from scratch, and worked closely with engineers, founders, and users to turn complex challenges into clear, usable tools. I care about both the details and the big picture—how things feel and how they function. My approach is shaped by many disciplines, but grounded in one goal: finding the real problem and designing solutions that hold up in practice.

2020
Deals Banner at Dell
The original Dell.com deals page featured an oversized banner that buried key offers. A new template limited the banner to 144px, so I restructured the content hierarchy and tested variations to maximize impact in the smaller space—making deals more visible and improving engagement.
2019
PHASER at Hypergiant
Designed a comprehensive tool to help agencies with interdisciplinary teams track project scope and progress. In just over six weeks, I built an internal team, led user research, and delivered a functional prototype. The tool improves efficiency and alignment across client projects.
