About

I'm a product designer with 9+ years building accessible, user-centered experiences across fintech, healthcare, and B2B SaaS. My focus centers on design systems, application design, and making complex systems intuitive.

Lately, I've been honing my coding skills and exploring how AI is reshaping design workflows. This improves my collaboration with engineers and helps me have meaningful conversations about what we're building and why.

When I'm not designing, you'll find me reading mystery novels, biking, or planning my next trip. Connecting with people from different parts of the world and all backgrounds reminds me why designing for diverse users matters.
