I'm a design leader who champions design excellence, facilitates cross-functional collaboration, and cultivates healthy teams. I'm passionate about creating products at the intersection of human needs, business goals, technical feasibility, and planet prosperity. With over 12 years specializing in {interaction, web, UX, native, and digital product} design, my job is to help bring ideas to life. I have a strong technical background with an eye for design systems, delightful experiences, and wholistic product ecosystems.
A proud Pacific Northwest native, I spent my university and young professional years in and around Seattle. After graduating from WWU, I started my career at Boeing before continuing my tour of Seattle's mega-corporations at Microsoft, T-Mobile, and Expedia.
In 2020, I moved to München, gaining experience in start-up and consultancy environments. Nowadays, I'm supporting the ambitious B2B product vision at EQS. Outside of work, I'm slowly learning German and eating a lot of Brezeln. Regardless of which side of the Atlantic I'm on, I can be found cooking for friends and family, participating in a number of different sports, or practicing street photography around town.
Design is our interface to the world around us. I embody empathy and accessibility principles in design and in life, centering my work around a deep understanding of people.
Design happens in conversation with others. I continuously learn from fellow designers and non-designers alike to better inform my craft and my ability as a collaborator.
Design is an instrument of influence that must be wielded with intention. I think deeply about what I want my design to achieve and only until it delivers upon its purpose do I sign my work.
