I'm a design leader based in San Francisco with over eight years of experience building digital products. My passion lies in bringing ideas to life with intuative, impactful experiences. I enjoy leveraging process to push convention and drive change with cross-functional stakeholders by identifying key user needs + pain points and ways to provide first-class solutions to our global users base that drive meanginful engagement and meet KPIs.

As a design leader I practice a player-coach mentality to help grow others around me while leading by example. I believe establishing a healthy, highly collaborative design culture is pivotal to reaching each team member's full potential. By establishing core processes and clearly defining what quality design looks like I have led both in-person and distributed teams to consistently shipping experiences that provide real life value to our users and the business.
