A bit about me

I am a curious, collaborative UX designer with a knack for asking questions, solving problems, and telling stories. In both my life and my work, I value kindness and empathy above all else—except, maybe, auto-layout and maple syrup.

At Ford, I established and led weekly design reviews with over 30 team members, facilitating productive feedback and connecting ideas across teams. I also hosted Figma learning sessions, covering everything from building complex prototypes to creating effective dev handoff files.

Outside of work, I am generally ranting about whatever book I’m reading, taking my mini dachshund Daphne out for a pup cup, or cooking up something diabolical with my fiancé.
