I’ve always been fascinated by how things work—not just products, but the people and systems behind them. Long before I found product design, I was trained as a researcher, which taught me to stay curious, ask better questions, and avoid jumping to solutions before understanding the problem. It’s a mindset that has stayed with me throughout my career.

Today, I lead design teams that tackle complex problems in healthcare technology. Whether we're reimagining a clinician workflow, helping researchers make better decisions, or building products that support patients, I believe great design starts with discovery. I enjoy digging into customer behaviors, connecting qualitative insights with data, and helping teams uncover opportunities that aren't immediately obvious.

As I've grown into leadership, I've found that my favorite part of the job isn't designing every screen—it's creating the conditions for great design to happen. That means building strong teams, partnering closely with Product and Engineering, and helping designers develop both confidence and craft. The products matter, but so do the people who create them.

At the end of the day, I'm motivated by solving meaningful problems with thoughtful people. If we can make someone's work a little easier, help them make a better decision, or improve an experience they rely on every day, that's the kind of impact I'm excited to be part of.

Outside of work, you'll usually find me exploring a new city, hiking with my energetic rescue dog, or disappearing down a rabbit hole learning about something completely unrelated to design.
