I've helped teams ship enterprise tools that keep users secure and experiences they can trust.
I spend my time outside of work making art with watercolor and futzing about with analog cameras.
I enjoy working within complex systems, collaborating closely with teams to unwind technical concepts like permissions, identity, and governance into experiences that feel clear and usable.
Before design I spent years in Business Operations and Finance. That background gave me an instinct for the business logic underneath a product decision and the experience working through ambiguous problem spaces where the scope is still being defined and the solution has to hold up across an entire platform.
I studied Business Finance at San Francisco State University then pivoted into technology working for high-growth startups in operations and monetization. In 2020, I recognized how monetization programs can only scale with product partnership and pivoted to Product Design. I'm currently at GitLab designing authorization and access control systems.
