I'm a multi-hat-wearer — UI, UX, and graphic design, with some scrum master experience thrown in! — based in Chicago.

With over a decade of experience crafting thoughtful, accessible, and visually compelling experiences across corporate, consultancy, and consumer-facing environments, I’ve got plenty in my bag of tricks. I mix creative vision with strategic thinking to whip up complex design problems and elevate user interactions.

My work bridges the technical and emotional—whether I’m designing patient-centered pharmacy interfaces or building scalable corporate design systems from the ground up. I thrive in collaborative, cross-functional teams, and I’m passionate about accessibility, inclusive design, and intuitive storytelling through color, layout, and structure.

Off the clock, I’m a curious and compassionate human who loves reading, board games, family time, and the occasional D&D campaign. I believe the best design happens when you're in the thick of it—asking better questions, building with empathy, and staying grounded in real-world impact.

I’m currently open for projects, so if you want to talk design projects or just swap chili recipes (I’ve got this mole one, amazing), give me a shout! Thanks for dropping by - it’s been lovely. 👋🏻
