The classroom
I started in the classroom, where I learned how confidence, context, and the right support can change an outcome.
I design for the moment things click.
Systems thinking grounded in curiosity, context, and care.

The path to product design
A foot in both worlds
I turned everyday classroom frustrations into better digital tools by translating teachers' needs and speaking up for the people using them.
The leap into product
Curiosity became prototypes, then product work. The skills I built in education came with me.
From screens to systems
As products grew, I shifted from individual features to the patterns, platforms, and shared language holding them together.
Leading product work at scale
I now lead work across strategy, interaction, and systems for products serving 18M+ learners.
Principles
What I care about shows up in the details.
Let the system do the work
Good design keeps complexity behind the scenes, so people can focus on what they came to do.
Look beyond the screen
The screen is only part of the story. Time, attention, confidence, and context matter too.
Design for change
Good systems make room for products, people, and teams to evolve without starting over.
In practice
Good products begin with paying attention to people.
I'm a product designer in New York, and I work on software people rely on when a lot is riding on it. The information is complicated, mistakes matter, and nobody has time to stop and figure out the screen. Before design, I was a teacher, and more than ten years in education taught me to look at everything around the tool too: the room, the pressure, and the person just trying to get through their day.
It's a habit that carries into any industry. I've modernized old platforms, simplified tangled workflows, and built design systems that hold up across products and teams. I do my best work when the problem is a little messy, the stakes are real, and I'm surrounded by good people.
