about

Seasoned designer and problem solver.

Mobile UI of an app I created

I’m a senior product designer specializing in scalable design systems for complex, high-traffic products.

I’ve led and contributed to systems at Verizon, Johnson & Johnson, Gap Inc., and Under Armour, building token-driven, accessible components that support multi-brand commerce experiences. I partner closely with engineering to ensure systems are production-ready, well-governed, and widely adopted, empowering teams to design consistently at scale.

Outside of work I enjoy gaming, drawing, and the outdoors—activities that fuel my creativity. Email me or visit LinkedIn to chat.

Take a deeper dive into the projects I've worked on.
