About

I’m a product designer working across growth, product strategy, and AI, helping startups and enterprise teams turn complex ideas into usable, human-centered experiences.

My work sits at the intersection of interaction design, cognitive psychology, and emerging technology—focusing on how products behave as they evolve and scale.

How I Think

Design is a systems problem

• Focused on how products evolve over time
• Grounded in cognitive psychology and mental models
• Interested in clarity within complex systems

Current Focus

• Designing AI-supported workflows
• Building systems that scale expertise
• Experimenting with custom GPTs and emerging tools

Background

Art, psychology, and technology

I studied cognitive psychology at Carnegie Mellon, expanded into art and design at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and worked as a print and web designer before returning to Carnegie Mellon for graduate studies in human-computer interaction (HCI).

That combination shapes how I approach design today, balancing analytical thinking with visual communication.

Mentoring

Supporting designers through mentorship and community

I’m the Co-Director of Mentorship for UXPA Austin, where I shape and support mentorship programs for designers at different stages of their careers.

I’ve also previously mentored through ADPList and Springboard, working with designers to build confidence, develop their skills, and navigate their careers.
