Minneapolis, MN
I’m a Senior UX/UI and Product Designer who enjoys turning complex ideas into clear, intuitive digital experiences. My background includes SaaS, fintech, mobile apps, data-driven platforms, and design systems. I enjoy solving challenging UX problems, simplifying workflows, and collaborating with product and engineering teams to bring ideas from concept through development. I’m also interested in how AI and emerging technologies are changing the way we design and build digital products.
