Hey hey! Thanks for stopping by. I’m currently a Senior Product Designer at Spotify, focusing on new monetization and growth opportunities— I'm most curious about how the next generation of listeners discover their audio identity.

I'm an end-to-end designer who loves solving challenging problems. Curious by nature, I love connecting with and understanding people. I get jazzed leading in-depth user research and brainstorming solutions. Collaboration and teamwork are my jam.

Previously, I was working on the core product at Box. Before diving into enterprise design, I did the digital-nomad thing (before everyone else was) traveling the world solo as a freelance designer, which I jumped to after wearing all hats at an agency. While at UC Berkeley I studied design-thinking and the mind, but design and code first found its way into my life during the golden era of Neopets.

I'm always trying to grow and learn something new. I lose track of time when I'm hand-lettering, backpacking over mountains, curled up in a good book, or eating food in new countries I explore.

Currently, I'm not looking for new opportunities, but I am open to fun side projects. Please don't hesitate to reach out— I'm happy to chat about work or play!
