About
about me
As an aspiring software engineer, I'm driven by a passion for tackling real-world challenges in collaborative, team-driven environments and excited to contribute to innovation and progress in the tech and finance industries.
I've worked on teams of two and teams of twenty. I've had access to endless user research and I've had to make educated guesses with limited data. I've worked within strict component libraries and I've built design systems from scratch. What stays consistent is asking good questions, collaborating with people who know more than me, and shipping things that actually help
Currently, I'm at Meridian Health working on experiences for mental health clinicians and administrators. Before that, I spent almost two years at StyleBook helping salons manage their businesses (and discovering that stylists have very strong opinions about scheduling interfaces, which I deeply respect).

about my work
Starting with why, not what
Before jumping into wireframes, I want to understand what problem we're actually solving. Sometimes the thing people ask for isn't the thing they need. My favorite projects start with good questions and end with solutions that feel obvious in hindsight.

Designing for real constraints
Perfect conditions don't exist. Budgets are tight, timelines are aggressive, legacy systems are messy, and sometimes you just can't talk to users directly. I'm comfortable making smart decisions with imperfect information and finding creative solutions within real limitations.
Collaboration over hero design
The best work happens when designers, engineers, and product folks are actually talking to each other—not throwing things over the wall. I genuinely enjoy the back-and-forth of figuring out what's possible, what's practical, and what's going to create the most value.
we, not me.
details build trust.
Making the invisible visible
Some of the most impactful design work isn't flashy—it's the progress indicator that keeps people oriented, the auto-save that prevents panic, the validation message that actually helps instead of just saying 'error.' These details build trust.

Homestead
Joined when the product was technically functional but deeply confusing. Talked to users who were struggling, mapped out where the interface was failing them, and redesigned the core experience to actually make sense. Also helped establish initial brand direction.
