About Me

I'm a restaurant kid turned product nerd.

I watched my dad create experiences for customers from behind the sushi bar and now I do the same from behind the screen.

For 9 years I've designed ways for people to connect with services, opportunities, and communities. I believe good design helps people come together and move forward more effectively. I’m motivated by projects that create positive impact, whether by supporting connection, participation, or building a shared understanding.

My background in education, recruiting, and community-facing work shapes how I approach product design today. I bring a curious mindset to my work—I'm interested in finding root problems and exploring how people respond to designs rather than creating temporary solutions for them.

In the past, I’ve succeeded in leading cross-functional teams, designing for multiple priorities, and facing ambiguity in project direction. My experiences influence how I show up as a designer: thoughtful about nuance and focused on creating experiences that feel intuitive, inclusive, and supportive.
