About

Design has been a major part of my life since I was a teenager, when I began combining graphics, typography, and layout to communicate school events and personal projects.

As a Principal Design Systems Designer, I'm passionate about creating holistic, cohesive experiences that make technology purposeful, meaningful, and intuitive. I've led design initiatives for small startups and large organizations like Palo Alto Networks, Intel, and HP.

I thrive at the intersection of design and strategy — collaborating with designers, developers, product managers, and stakeholders to align user needs with business goals while building scalable systems that empower teams.
