I love clean, structured design, but what really drives me is how something works. I care about making things feel easy, intuitive, and genuinely helpful by understanding how people interact and what gets in their way.

Outside of design, I help run customer success at Tiny Tiger, an indoor playground I helped open with my sister. It’s taught me how to hustle, adapt quickly, and stay scrappy when things don’t go as planned.

I’m endlessly curious, love working with others, and get a lot of joy out of turning messy problems into simple, human-centered solutions.
