Midwest girl, happily & forever based in LA doing life things with my spouse, son, 2 pugs and 2 smush faced cats. I hold a BS in Advertising and an MFA in Fine Art. I spent 10 years in the fashion industry across brand development, marketing, purchasing, and design. I regularly traveled to China to lead research, product development, and design for Gwen Stefani's accessories line.

Driven by a growing obsession with technology and its emotional impact on human lives, I pivoted into product design. I’ve since worked across startups and Fortune 500 companies, partnering closely with cross-functional teams to solve complex problems. I believe great design builds trust, drives business outcomes, and creates space for growth. I’m passionate about design empathy, product strategy, people leadership, and team culture.

Hot tip: you’ll spot a few of my pets throughout the site. They’re a constant source of inspiration. I’ve linked the rescue where we found our latest furry friend, Captain Winx—consider donating or adopting if you’re able 🐾
