The Story
My journey into product design didn't start in a studio, but in an orchestra pit. With a background in music education from UMass Amherst, I learned early on that the most impactful results come from diverse, complex parts moving in perfect sync.
For over 10 years, I've applied that same "conductor’s ear" to digital products. Whether I’m migrating legacy insurance workflows to Salesforce for Pinnacol or launching the first fractional investing app for Navy Federal, my focus is always on harmony: balancing rigorous business constraints with intuitive human needs.
I am a firm believer in Inclusive Design and the practical application of Behavioral Economics. I don't just design for the "happy path"; I design for the edges, ensuring that products are accessible, ethical, and intentionally crafted to help people achieve their goals.
Beyond the Screen
Living in Arlington, Virginia, I find my balance in the analog world. I’m a collector of systems—from the modular logic of a LEGO set to the precise ink-flow of a fountain pen.
This fascination with order extends to my eye for photography. Having studied landscape photography in design school, my work often explores the intersection between nature, geometry, and the manmade landscape.
