About
I'm a passionate and empathetic designer with a knack for building products and systems from the ground up. I've helped create numerous design systems and processes that streamline work across many cross-functional product teams and create much-needed consistency in the user's experience.
In the past I've spearheaded the design and development of complex B2B web applications, focusing on user pain points that make a real difference in their day-to-day lives. In my current role at Crossbeam, I focus heavily on self-serve revenue and activation, letting me draft and implement strong strategies that hit both product and revenue goals.
