My love for UX began at Hack4Impact, translating nonprofits’ real-world challenges into software that helped them serve their communities. It shaped my commitment to making technology accessible and approachable, and our everyday interactions more thoughtful and beautiful.

Bio

I’m a product designer with a love for storytelling and an obsessive commitment to craft. I design and ship in code, taking SaaS consumer experiences from 0 → 1 so our interactions with the world feel more thoughtful and beautiful. Most excited by developer tooling, creative software, and AI-native products.

Currently, a designer at Paramount.
