Designer in San Francisco

About

I'm a product designer with over six years of experience. I have worked at companies ranging from a seed-stage VC backed company, a mature start-up to a 500+ person organization.

I value championing for craft and visual expression in products with complex workflows.

When I'm not mapping out workflows or pushing pixels while listening to bass-heavy beats, you can find me training at Woodenman Muay Thai, having outbursts of random strong opinions, and finding serene spots at Golden Gate park to meditate to Headspace.
