I grew up watching technology reshape how humans interact—MP3 players, flip phones, smartphones. That transformation fascinated me, and it's why I became a designer. I wanted to be part of shaping those interactions, not just watching them happen.

Today, I'm a design manager at Intuit in the Bay Area, leading a team that builds AI-powered financial tools for mid-market businesses. Before this, I designed banking and lending products for small business owners. What energizes me is shaping product strategy through design—pushing my team to think differently and solve the right problems.

I studied Industrial Design at RISD, but quickly realized I cared more about how design impacts behavior than visual aesthetics. That's what drew me to digital experiences—where I could focus on interaction, psychology, and solving real human problems rather than just making beautiful objects.

In 2017, I won a Core77 Design Award for accessible travel design and presented at Dubai Design Week. It reinforced something I still believe: great design removes barriers and creates access.

When I'm not designing, you'll find me jogging with my dog Teddy or exploring Bay Area wine country.
