The forest for the trees.

I’m a user experience and product leader based in California. I have a strong background in human-centered design principles, a deep understanding of psychology, and a consistent track record in delivering innovation and ethics in the digital landscape. 

With a career start at Apple, I spent five years as a Senior Interaction Designer defining the standard for the user experience of various flagship products, gaining a masterclass in process and storytelling. As a Director of UX at Morgan Stanley, I explored deep data, implementing innovative products that improve analysis and decision-making. 

Drawing on prior experience, I co-founded a startup, Ingredient1, that democratized the way people shop for groceries. As the Head of Product, I shaped the company's vision, overseeing the design and development of our product and partnerships, resulting in collaboration between Target, MIT Media Lab, Ideo, & Intel.

For the past decade, I’ve focused exclusively on designing systems that support and inspire human well-being at scale. I’ve increased climate awareness and community by providing people with sustainable, clean energy at Sunrun, the largest residential solar company in America. Additionally, I’ve delivered mental health at scale through my work with Crisis Text Line, a non-profit offering 24/7 text-based mental health support for millions of people a year, where I focused on research, design, and strategy for an international service expansion.

In addition to design and research, I actively contribute to the design community through mentorship and collaboration, where I’m grateful to be able to help shape the future of the industry towards compassion and sustainability. I enjoy fostering environments that inspires teams to think holistically, go beyond industry norms, and create transformative solutions.

I believe that understanding each other, and the systemic issues that affect us, is critical to the success of any app, idea, or system. I advocate for diversity and equity in the field, and promote ethical design and research practices.

As a truth-seeker and problem-solver, I’m deeply committed to humanity, and building products that are accessible, equitable, and inherently joyful to use.
