I design with empathy, clarity, and craft.

My work sits at the intersection of psychology, design, and storytelling. I’m drawn to products that make everyday experiences feel a little more intuitive - and a little more human.

Shipped thoughtful features and redesigns across desktop, mobile, and web

I've always been a maker.

As a kid, it was pencils and sketchbooks; now it’s pixels and prototypes.

Design became the place where my love of art, psychology, and problem-solving came together - helping me turn complexity into clarity.

After 15+ years, what excites me most is building products that make people’s lives a little simpler, kinder, and more human.

Design, to me, is about bringing clarity to complexity and humanity to the digital. One thoughtful choice at a time.”

What I’ve learned about design and people

Over the years, I’ve learned that design is less about pixels and more about people.

The best solutions come from listening - to users, to teammates, and sometimes to what’s not being said.

My job is to make the complex feel clear, and the digital feel human. That’s what keeps me showing up, curious as ever.

Beyond design

Alongside design, I stay rooted in people, nature, and experiences that add purpose to my everyday.

We are certified with Intermountain Therapy Animals. Since 2018, Emma and I have volunteered in hospitals, schools, and community spaces — bringing comfort and connection wherever it’s needed.

Community Volunteer

Raised with a love for the outdoors, I grew up camping and learning to appreciate nature. Now, I volunteer with Keep Rockland Beautiful, helping with environmental cleanups.

Scholarship Chair

I help manage a scholarship fund at Albertus Magnus High School in memory of my brother-in-law, making sure his legacy of generosity lives on through future students.
