About
I am a multidisciplinary UX Researcher, Creative, and Strategist based in Seattle who cares about designing experiences that are distinguishable to a specific brand and product. My goal is to partner with forward-thinking innovators, agencies, and brands, to design human-centered digital solutions and experiences that elevate business outcomes.
With expertise spanning management, branding, product design, and systems thinking, I focus on conceiving, incubating, and scaling ideas by honing in on research as a critical component of product design and strategy.
Outside of work, I pursue photography, music, and travel.
