#About me

Senior Product Designer with 6+ years of experience at R2Net (@James Allen, @Blue Nile)
#Current role
I turn complex ideas into intuitive interfaces: shipping scalable design systems, streamlining back-office workflows, and closing the loop with research. I create interfaces that make complex workflows feel straightforward.
#What I actually do
Away from my screen, I'm trying to keep my plants alive, planning world domination with my Claude subscription, and questioning my life choices during another Pilates session.
#Pray_for_my_plants
Let's create experiences that win hearts and move metrics. If you're building something meaningful, I'd love to help.
