After earning my B.A. in Design Media Arts from UCLA, I began my UX career at a startup where I learned to translate complex ideas into clear, intuitive digital experiences. From there, I joined the in-house marketing team at Banana Republic, where my work spanned 360º campaigns, UI design for the e-commerce site, and improving systems behind how creative work gets produced. 

My approach to design is driven by understanding the bigger picture – the “why” behind a problem. Collaboration with cross functional teams is central to arriving at thoughtful, practical outcomes, so I strive to emphasize autonomy, clear thinking and environments where people are empowered to be resourceful and self-sufficient. My toolkit includes Figma, prototyping, user research and design systems. I’m often known as a strong collaborator who brings people together, clarifies ideas, and helps teams move efficiently. 

Outside of work, I’m naturally curious and drawn to adventure. I enjoy action sports (like roller skating and SCUBA diving), travel often and enjoy exploring creative side projects in my free time.
