Storyteller at heart, designer by trade.
About
I'm a storyteller, with an engineering education. Thus, I pursue design because I can leverage stories to solve real-world problems.
At Disney, I learned the magic of stories and how to infuse delight into experiences.
At Meta, I learned how to design in mature, complex ecosystems.
At Figma, I learned how to do the job with managing stakeholders and expectations.
If you'd like to explore my design journey in greater detail, I have a portfolio slide deck available upon request.
