Me
I’m a designer who’s driven by curiosity, exploration, and the process of turning ideas into something real.

I believe the strongest work comes from close cross-functional collaboration. I thrive working in person; whiteboards, quick mockups, and side conversations.

Outside of design, I’m a long-distance runner. Endurance training has shaped how I work: consistent, resilient, and comfortable staying with a challenge long enough to see progress. 

Thanks for taking the time to explore my work.
