About me
Originally from the Pacific Northwest, I grew up adventuring in our mountains and on our waters. Informed by a deep desire for exploration, I bring an intentional curiosity to my work.
Product design is my passion. Having spent my career diving deep into new product categories, I have extensive multimodal, voice- and touch-first product design experience across a range of product areas.
