I’m a systems thinker with an entrepreneurial background and over 8 years of experience designing awesome products that are useful, usable, beautiful and well made.
I do my best work when solving problems using scalable systems and processes. I love to collaborate, learn, and ultimately make things I am proud of.
Currently, I serve as the Lead Product Designer at Carry1st, where I focus on driving growth and retention. Beyond my current role, I’m deeply fascinated by the intersection of design and AI — how technology can bridge gaps in personal healthcare, finance, and retail at scale.
