I am a lead product designer with 12 years of experience (3 in design management) building web platforms. I have a passion for optimizing complex processes and empowering teams to do their best work.

I started my career in branding and publication before a mentor handed me books on user experience design. Those books motivated me to step into the ever-changing world of tech, inspired by the many continuous growth opportunities. I’m at my best and thrive most when I’m accumulating knowledge and applying it to my work. I firmly believe that one can never know enough.

When I’m not designing, you can usually find me either with a book or listening to music with a cat or two on my lap. I’m a social introvert who loves catching a live concert or fulfilling my foodie side during fun dining experiences with friends. And I don’t just dine—I love to cook (pre-pandemic you could find me taking classes at a local cooking school).

I also like connecting with new people! Feel free to email me or add me on LinkedIn if you'd like to chat sometime. Want to know more about my work experience? Check out my resume for the details.
