User Experience & Product Designer
San Francisco, CA, USAMy design practice is human centered. I strive to create authentic user centered experiences that identify and improve both new and pre-existing systems and services.
I’m Currently looking for opportunities to create great design. Gorgeous, thoughtful work is a given. My goal is to push boundaries further to create unique solutions that not only fit what the client wants, but also want they truly need. My goal is to mix things up and change how systems serve the users.
