About
I work hands-on, stay close to the work, and help teams turn messy problems into experiences that people actually want to use.
I’ve spent years designing products and leading design teams across startups, agencies, enterprises, and federal organizations. I stay hands-on and involved, while also helping teams make decisions, navigate tradeoffs, and keep the work moving.
I help teams figure out what matters, what doesn’t, and how to move forward without overcomplicating things. I use GenAI where it helps speed things up or cut through noise. I don’t treat these as separate disciplines, they’re just part of how the work gets done.
How I Work
I like getting involved early, asking questions, and helping teams make sense of complex requirements before jumping to solutions. I’m comfortable working through ambiguity and helping teams find clarity without forcing premature answers.
I stay involved through delivery, working closely with product and engineering, and using design as a way to think things through together. Clear structure and thoughtful decisions matter, especially when systems are large and constraints are real.


The Kind of Work I’m Drawn To
Most of my work has been in enterprise and federal environments, where I have designed large-scale platforms, data-intensive tools, and mission-critical workflows. These are spaces where design has real consequences, and where clarity, usability, and good judgment make a noticeable difference.
I enjoy work that’s complex, collaborative, and grounded in reality — the kind where progress comes from steady thinking and strong teams, not flashy ideas.
What I Value
I care about:
- Doing work that’s useful, not just impressive
- Building trust with teammates and stakeholders
- Design that holds up over time
- Teams that feel supported and empowered
- Leaving things better than I found them

Experience matters.

Outside work
I’m based in the Baltimore area with my three daughters and three dogs. Life is busy, loud, and rarely predictable, which has given me a deep appreciation for simple systems, clear communication, and work that respects people’s time.
That perspective shows up in how I design and how I lead.
