I design interfaces for products, workflows, and systems that carry a lot beneath the surface. I'm drawn to clarity, motion, and visual restraint—creating experiences that feel intuitive, thoughtful, and easy to navigate without losing depth. Designed to be understood, not just seen.
Product Designer at Umbrage, part of Bain & Company
At heart, I'm a builder of products, systems, and experiences, with a focus on turning complexity into clarity. Outside of work I'm swimming laps, chasing my first muscle-up, aquascaping, and planning the next trip.

Wireframed and prototyped scalable internal admin tools to eliminate technical debt and improve account setup efficiency for customer success managers. Pioneered the company-wide design system and collaborated closely with engineers on QA.
Increased web engagement by 45% through graphic assets, illustrations, and digital ads. Designed UX and training programs for 300+ individuals in the radio frequency community, and led branding and production for college fairs.
Designed scalable websites to host publications and distribute media for the magazine. Collaborated with writers and engineers to ensure accessibility and optimal UX, and strategized information architecture to drive impressions and brand awareness.
