Equal parts…
Human-centered designer
I help to shape product cultures that connect people and make technology more human. I do this through the scaling of cross-functional design thinking practices across orgs and teams.
Storyteller
Storytelling is a critical component of every step of the design process. When developed and used purposefully, I’ve found it can contribute to inclusion and connection and bringing about the best kind of change.
Dot connecter
Any great product is the result of lots of small things adding up. My goal is to help orgs and teams look at things systematically. This often means aligning disparate business units and rallying teams to work together to build unifying experiences.
Strategizer
I thrive in highly complex, ambiguous environments. Using a combination of design thinking and business strategy when approaching challenges, I leverage human-centered design to drive product and service innovation.

I’m a product design strategist living and working in Seattle, WA.
Currently leading the human-centered design program at Expedia Group. Before that, product and content design at Amazon, Humana, and Allstate.
I have over 15 years of experience designing products that connect great brands with their most passionate users. In this time, I have transformed ecosystems and expanded the role of product and content design within large organizations.
I thrive on solving complex, ambiguous challenges that push me to think creatively and leverage the full spectrum of skills I've honed throughout my career—while always staying curious and learning something new. I use human-centered design and collaboration to shape long-term strategies and visions that lead to innovative, customer-first experiences aligned with business goals.
Outside of work, I can be found trying to keep up with my high energy toddler. What’s left of time, which isn’t much, I can be found renovating our home, learning Spanish, or hunting for hidden gems at local estate sales.
