I approach every day with compassion, an open-mind, and a healthy dose of curiosity. I apply these same principles to my design process, with the intention of creating meaningful experiences for all. I enjoy crafting solutions for real problems and would rather focus on how or why a solution might work, rather than why it won't. Design should lead with “yes…and?”

Over the last year, I’ve focused my efforts on supporting strategic design updates to a legacy Microsoft product, supporting its AI transformation and integration with Microsoft’s AI Hub.

Prior to that, I spent 3+ years on a horizontals design team, contributing to a design system, suite platform guidance and coherence, and product direction for a Microsoft product suite. Through this work, I’ve developed and flexed innovative problem-solving and versatile design capabilities that have been applied to high-impact and high-priority projects.

My background in human rights and advocacy fuels my belief that technology should be used to make the world a better place. I want to listen to understand, empower users to achieve their goals, and use storytelling to drive empathy.
