My journey in design started with band posters and fashion magazines.

After taking a design thinking course in college, my interest in design shifted from a stylistic outcome to a methodology for solving problems.

As a product designer, I’ve worked with companies in aerospace, consumer hardware, education, finance, and social technology. I bring clarity to ambiguous problems and find overlaps between user needs and business outcomes. I believe ideas get stronger through feedback and facilitate productive collaboration across functions and stakeholders. I drive teams towards common goals by illustrating future-facing solutions and defining the incremental steps to get there. 

My life outside of design is spent with my husband and our dog, taking in the endless beauty of Northern California through hiking and skiing. I’m proud to call myself a “horse girl” and enjoy riding dressage. I also love learning about space exploration and collect NASA books & ephemera.
