Thanks for stopping by!

I'm currently a product designer at Rippling, driving high speed innovation for IT products and building the future of our apps platform. Before this, I was at IBM, designing enterprise products. I have a strong technical expertise due to the kinds of products I've worked on over the years, as well as my academic background.

As I've progressed through my career, I've come to understand that good design comes from not only analyzing user needs, but also from understanding business strategy and being able to move quickly. I believe my biggest strengths as a designer come from the processes and design intuition I've cultivated over time that allows me to innovate with speed, precision, and creativity.

In my downtime, I enjoy playing music on the piano, playing games online, or working out. Outside of work, my free time is filled with adventure—exercising, tackling scenic hikes, traveling, and trying new food.

Let’s keep the conversation going! My contact info is in my resume.
