As a UX designer, strategist, and illustrator, I bring 20+ years of experience connecting human insight with creative craft. I love designing complex systems that scale, while also finding those unexpected, joyful moments that make digital experiences more delightful.
My passions in this work are collaboration with talented teams, artistry and hand-made details, and engaging storytelling. Drawing has always been my first language. It helps me explore ideas, explain them, and invite others into the process. From early research to polished delivery, I look for ways to simplify complexity and add a spark of surprise and delight to every experience.
