I think in systems and love to solve problems.
9 years in product design. 19 in visual design.
A bakery in between.
I care about details people notice, and ones they never should.
About me
I approach product design by breaking complex systems down to what actually matters to the people using them.
Since late 2024, I've consulted for fintech and mission-driven teams: setting design priorities with product and engineering leads, rebuilding design systems from code and planning their rollout, and redesigning apps alongside founders and engineers, and coaching junior designers. I also evaluate frontier AI-generated design work.
Before that, I spent 7 years at Ramsey Solutions designing EveryDollar, a budgeting app with 750K monthly users, and Financial Peace, a debt payoff app. I designed for native iOS, Android, and web, created EveryDollar's design system, and mentored junior designers.
Earlier, I spent 10 years as a freelance graphic designer and 7 years running my own bakery. Both still shape how I think about clarity and craft for the people on the other end of an experience.
I enjoy working across the full product lifecycle, whether independently with full ownership or collaboratively alongside product, engineering, and other designers.
