Hey There!

As a strategic thinker in a visual world, I seek simple solutions to complex problems.

I'm a product designer with 10+ years of experience, most recently leading design for Alaska Airlines' first-in-industry airport lobby and check-in experience across app, kiosk, and web. I start with real behavior: customer interviews, in-person usability testing, and field observation. Then I work closely with product and engineering to turn messy, ambiguous problems into experiences that are simple, accessible, and inclusive by default.

I do my best work on teams that inspire and challenge each other to make something that truly works.
