Minnesota-born designer blending art and science with a little spice - crafting experiences that inspire, innovate, and improve the world around us

I’m a product designer who enjoys figuring out how things work, why they don’t, and what we can do to make them better.

With a background in UX, digital media, and communication, I’ve learned to approach design from both sides: understanding the people using a product and the people building the experience. I like asking questions, digging into messy problems, and turning research and feedback into designs that feel clear and intentional.

My work has taken me across financial services, healthcare technology, and event experiences, but the part I enjoy most is the same: creating something that makes a complicated process feel a little more human.

Outside of design, I’m usually working on some kind of creative project, exploring new stories and games, or chasing an idea that probably started with “what if?”

I want to keep making things that are useful, meaningful, and worth remembering.
