About Me

It’s nice to meet you!

As a designer with a foundation in teaching, I bring a unique blend of empathy and expertise to every project. My experience in education has taught me the importance of understanding diverse perspectives and tailoring experiences to meet varying needs.

Passionate about accessible design, I strive to create solutions that are visually engaging and inclusive, ensuring they resonate with all users. Whether working with stakeholders, users, or cross-functional teams, I aim to foster connections and craft thoughtful solutions that resonate deeply and make a meaningful difference.


Outside of work, I enjoy travel, food, dance, theater, exploring new parks with my dog, and raising as many houseplants as I can fit in my home.
