Design, engineering, and product.

Currently, I create custom tooling for design orgs and their design systems, helping with everything from design/engineering partnership, to workflow improvements, design quality, and ensuring designers have the content they need for their designs without violating privacy or legal requirements.

The bulk of my career has been focused on the web—designing and building custom interfaces and user experiences for everything from small startups to established products and large companies.

I am comfortable joining existing teams, building my own, or working solo. I have experience in product design, backend and frontend engineering, and particularly enjoy roles that intersect some or all of these disciplines.

I went to school for business and started my career in advertising and brand communications. I will always bring a storytelling and comprehensive, big picture approach to my work.
