Hi there!

I’m a Product Designer creating positive social impact through design.

About

Currently the first (and only) UX product designer at a social impact fintech startup.

I have nearly 4 years of experience crafting thoughtful design solutions to solve complex user problems.

My curiosity and passion to explore the unfamiliar permeate every aspect of my life. Outside of work, you’ll find me learning how to surf out at the Rockaways, backpacking through the mountains in my home state (Idaho), or tuned into the latest episode of Ologies, my favorite podcast. At work, I’m most likely wading through a sea of research for my latest deep dive to support new design challenges like visualizing mapped geo-spacial data, or most recently, optimizing type to search ux.

I’m an empathy-driven designer with a passion for social impact; UX researcher and designer by training, with a healthy dose of entrepreneurial spirit. Communication and collaboration are my bread and butter.
