About me

That same drive for precision, problem-solving, and growth carries into my work as a Senior UX Designer. I love diving into complex challenges, breaking them down into intuitive solutions, and refining experiences to feel seamless.

I stay sharp by exploring new design technologies, taking online courses, and harnessing AI to streamline workflows and articulate insights.

My goal? To design systems and experiences that make an impact—whether it’s for users, businesses, or the teams I collaborate with.

There’s something about archery that keeps me coming back—zeroing in on a target, refining my form with small adjustments, and feeling that satisfying moment when an arrow lands near the center. It’s a balance of focus, patience, and continuous learning.

Whether I’m hiking, kayaking, or camping, I find clarity in nature and return recharged. Volunteering at a horse therapy center and a riding camp is another passion of mine, where I help with grooming and feeding, and occasionally assist with lessons.
