Hi there, nice to meet you!

I'm a product designer and strategist who loves tackling complex problems through design that puts real people first. My secret weapon? A healthy mix of user research, data insights, and a genuine curiosity about how people think and behave.

These days, I'm leading product design at Queer Axis Health, where we're breaking down barriers to healthcare access for LGBTQ+ folks. It's meaningful work that combines my passion for design with creating real-world impact. I spend my days researching, designing, and building solutions that connect our community with inclusive healthcare providers and resources—all while creating a supportive digital environment where privacy and trust come first.

My journey to design isn't your typical straight line. I spent my first 11 years immersed in the art world as a gallery curator, director, and private dealer. That experience taught me something invaluable: how to read between the lines. Whether it was working with artists on exhibitions or helping collectors find their perfect piece, I learned to uncover what people truly want (even when they can't quite put it into words themselves). This knack for translating unspoken needs into tangible solutions is the foundation of how I approach design today.

What gets me out of bed in the morning? The drive to solve tricky problems, the satisfaction of refining designs until they just click, and the endless learning curve that comes with creating experiences people genuinely connect with.

When I close my laptop for the day, you'll likely find me lost in the pages of sci-fi novels, scoring perfectly in the “mediocre” range at trivia nights, or road-tripping with my four-legged co-pilot, Pickles the Dog, who has surprisingly strong opinions about hiking trails and considers herself something of a woodland sommelier—always sniffing out the most interesting scents.
