I'm a designer living in Seattle. I'm currently a Senior Product Designer at Mercury – I work on our iOS and Android apps. Outside of work, I spend time with my partner and our dog, experiment with various coffees on our espresso machine, and puruse Craigslist for our next furniture find.

I received my design education from The University of Washington where I studied Interaction Design. I originally intended to study Industrial Design to focus on how I could make an impression with physical objects and spaces. However, after discovering the user-centric principles of Interaction Design, I fell in love with the discipline. It allowed me the flexibility to solve problems in any way I saw fit – whether the deliverable was physical, digital, or print.

I'm particularly interested in improving the finance and healthcare industries. Financial well-being and health are always on people's minds. These industries also have a tremendous amount of tech debt and are always in need of novel solutions.
