About me

I’m a product designer based in Chicago with nearly 8 years of experience. I currently design consumer-facing experiences at Dell, across search, AI assistants, and the core purchase journey.

I mentor and instruct designers on honing their craft and design process. I lead research and user testing on my work and establish research frameworks, from creating research plans and testing with users to synthesizing insights into design decisions.

My background spans human–computer interaction, engineering, and animation, so I approach design from both technical and creative angles. What draws me to design is discovery: finding patterns in chaos, understanding the problems people face, and delivering intuitive experiences.

Creativity has always been part of my life. I’ve explored photography, film, print, and graphic design. I first thought I’d become a game designer, which led me to study engineering and animation. In my final year of college, I realized those skills could solve real-world problems, and I’ve been growing as a product designer ever since.

I’m a designer, gamer, jazz saxophonist, marathon runner, and lifelong nerd. Above all, I enjoy understanding people and solving problems that matter.
