Hey there!

I am a UX product designer located in Northern VA.

Drawing from my background in the film, service and home renovation industries, I've cultivated the ability to problem-solve in imperfect conditions. My approach is rooted in collaboration with clients and team members, research, and staying open to inspiration from unexpected sources.

I like horror movies, road trips, Dominos, and good conversation. Let’s make something!
