‍With 15 years of professional experience, I am comfortable with all stages of the product lifecycle. My expertise leans heavily on systems design and connecting the dots. I thrive in the conceptualization of holistic big vision experiences by inspiring and leading a team of designers, developing data-driven designs, carving out major workstreams while maintaining strong product partnerships, influencing internal and external stakeholders, roadmapping innovation strategies, and facilitating creative workshops.
‍
I generally bring an "anything is possible" mindset when faced with ambiguous and complex problems. I love being a part of high-energy teams that aren't afraid to think REALLY big, swing for the fences, and exceed expectations. I consider myself a constant work-in-progress- a life learner- with a certain level of humility that allows me to continually grow and reinvent how I approach problems, learn tools and adopt new skills.

In between trip planning, I can be found on local bike paths, taking long photog walks, and reading oceanside. I enjoy dark films that place an emphasis on the emotional and psychological state of its characters, music that stirs you, makes you move (or both), and conversations that run deep but are equally laugh inducing. If you like sunsets, clouds and that dreamy, cotton candy tumblr aesthetic circa 2013, peep me on instagram.

Built by Girls

I am passionate about people and helping people do what they set out to do- which is why I can confidently say I love my work. This same passion motivated me to become a design mentor in the Built by Girls Mentorship program. Plus, I get artifacts like this that truly make it all worthwhile!!

I welcome the opportunity to help others navigate the professional world- while exchanging ideas and perspectives . If you are currently studying, exploring new paths or are in the beginning stages of your career and have questions, I am more than happy to chat!
