About

Product designer.
Recovering fine arts student.

I'm a product designer with nearly a decade of experience turning gnarly, complex problems into interfaces that actually make sense. My sweet spot is the stuff that makes most people's eyes glaze over: compliance workflows, business verification, dense rule systems. Finding the clarity buried inside.

I studied fine arts (with a math minor, because apparently I couldn't pick a lane), which is still the most useful thing I've ever done for design. It taught me to look before I label, and to ask why something feels off before I try to fix it.

Outside of Figma, Claude, and searching for the longest pant inseams on the internet, I'm usually doing something in the real world: baking bread, going to concerts and shows, or wandering through Golden Gate Park.

Currently

  • Knitting a sweater with German short rows (wish me luck)
  • Reading whatever is nearest to the sourdough starter
  • Thinking about making B2B feel less like infrastructure
