About Me

Every day we interact with technology, from engaging with loved ones on our devices, to filling out & submitting critical forms on the Internet.


Not all experiences are useful or successful, let alone accessible or delightful. As a former culinary instructor, this became apparent when during the Pandemic, I needed to transfer my curriculum onto a SaaS learning management system.


Now, as a product designer, using my lived experiences & unique skills across industries, I am dedicated to improving how we live and work equitably with technology, not become eclipsed by it.

User Behavior

I believe user behavior through research is the most important step of the design process. When problem-solving, I listen to & observe users to best understand their behaviors & motivations.

Croissants a reminder that simple things can be deceptively complex, practice makes progress, & experimenting is part of the process. Mostly, to always splurge on high quality butter!
