Senior Visual Designer based in San Diego, working remotely for years. With 15+ years of experience, I bring thoughtful design, strong ownership, and the ability to take a project from “we need a thing” to “hell yes, that works.”

About Me

About Me

I’ve loved design since my first graphic design class in middle school, and that curiosity has never really gone away. I’m fascinated by the psychology behind great user experiences and the challenge of creating work that genuinely connects with people.

Over the years, I’ve led designers and developers, mentored growing talent, built teams, and created processes that help people do their best work. I’m highly self-directed and comfortable owning a project from start to finish, but I’m at my best when collaborating with smart, curious people.

I’m always learning, experimenting, and looking for ways to make the work and the process better.
