About Me
I have 10 years of product design experience, working at startups, agencies, and small studios. I’ve found my home in the nonprofit space, where creative, simple solutions can unlock tremendous impact.
I thrive when given complex problems, small budgets, and tight timelines, all of which require clear vision, ruthless prioritization, and a focus on real outcomes.
Together, we can do more with less.
