I'm currently building in-app experiences that help people understand and take action on their health at Ōura. I take an inclusive, collaborative approach to design — transforming ambiguity into clarity and aligning teams around elegant, system-minded solutions.
I care deeply about craft, polish, and storytelling, thanks to my background in Graphic Design. I've designed for tech, finance, and media, including at Spotify, Instacart, PayPal, and The Daily Beast & Newsweek.
