MY STORY

My design journey began over a decade ago and has taken me across industries and continents. I started out curious about how people interact with technology and followed that curiosity into a Master’s in Human-Computer Interaction. That foundation in research and human-centered design continues to guide me today.

Over the years, I’ve shaped products in healthcare, education, automotive, ride-share, government contracts, event industry, and more. Each experience adding new perspectives to how I think about solving problems. What connects all of them is a drive to create meaningful, intuitive, and impactful digital experiences.

LEADERSHIP IN DESIGN

I’m currently a Lead Product Designer at MedBridge, driving design for healthcare education platforms and patient engagement products. I set the design vision, turn strategy into intuitive experiences, and partner with product, engineering, and business teams to deliver impact.

In addition to this role, I serve as an Accessibility Consultant with The Resource Key, where I help organizations design more inclusive experiences for people of all abilities. Accessibility is not an add-on for me - it’s integral to creating products that truly serve their users.

I care deeply about growing design culture: mentoring designers, facilitating workshops, and building systems that scale across teams.

My strength lies in turning ambiguity into clarity, ensuring teams move forward with confidence and purpose.

BUILDING COMMUNITY

Outside of work, I’m the co-founder of Cowo & Creche, a coworking and childcare hub built on the belief that professionals should have space to thrive without sacrificing family life. It’s a project that blends design thinking, service design, entrepreneurship, and community-building; values that also shape how I approach product design.

I also lead the UX + Product Design DC Meetup, a community of over 800 members, where I organize events, facilitate discussions, and connect designers and product professionals across the region. Building and nurturing this community has been one of the most rewarding parts of my design journey.

SPEAKER AND MENTOR

Knowledge grows when it’s shared. I regularly host and speak at UX and product events, where I explore topics like design leadership, product strategy, AI and community-driven innovation.

Beyond events, I mentor through ADPList (See reviews), helping designers and career switchers navigate their growth journeys. Some of my favorite moments come from sparking fresh thinking in conversations, or seeing mentees gain the confidence to take their next big step.

MY PHILOSOPHY

I believe great design starts with empathy and is validated through evidence. My approach blends research, strategy, and creativity to solve real human problems while driving business impact.

Design is not just about making things usable, but about making them equitable and inclusive. Accessibility isn’t a feature to add at the end - it’s a mindset that shapes how I approach every product and experience.
