About me


I craft digital products that drive impact for a range of organizations. With over nine years of experience in the field, I specialize in clarifying ambiguity to conceptualize innovative design solutions driven by user data.

I also serve as an instructor for the MSI program at the University of Michigan School of Information. I help future UX leaders develop the professional skills to tackle complex problems confidently and creatively.
