Accessibility HealthcareAbout
I'm a Lead UX Designer currently based in San Francisco. I've spent the past decade working at the intersection of design, research, and product strategy — at startups and enterprise companies alike.
I believe great design is invisible. My approach starts with listening — to users, to data, and to the constraints that shape every project. I care deeply about accessibility, design systems, and mentoring the next generation of designers.
Previously at Figma, Spotify, and IDEO. Currently open to senior leadership and consulting opportunities.
