About

I'm a product designer with a foundation in classical graphic design and 15+ years of experience creating digital experiences across healthcare, education, nonprofits, museums, and storytelling platforms.

Whether I'm designing a dashboard, a museum experience, or a mobile interaction, the fundamentals stay the same: hierarchy, readability, pacing, emotion, and building experiences that help people reach their goals with clarity and confidence.

I studied graphic design at Virginia Commonwealth University, where I became interested in how typography, hierarchy, and composition shape clarity, usability, and human behavior within digital experiences. What first drew me to design still drives me today: the balance between beauty and utility.

Over the course of my career, I've launched 40+ websites and digital products across a range of industries. Getting there has meant facilitating workshops, leading stakeholder alignment sessions, conducting user research, and collaborating closely with developers to bring complex ideas to life. Visual craft is one part of how I solve product problems, alongside systems thinking, accessibility, research, and cross-functional collaboration.

I'm especially interested in responsive systems, design systems, immersive storytelling, and accessibility — and in helping teams navigate complex design decisions by framing tradeoffs, comparing approaches, and grounding conversations in research.

Outside of design, a lot of my creative energy goes toward public speaking, motion, illustration, and exploring new creative disciplines.
