Experienced, metric-driven product designer in Houston, TX. Skilled at bridging collaboration between design & engineering. Passionate about building equity & openness through design.

I am a product designer based out of Houston, TX. I value human connection, vulnerability, accessibility, equity, & growth. I enjoy solving difficult human problems through design.

I started my journey as a designer in 2009 making websites and posters for family and local non-profits. My first paying design job was doing WordPress websites for realtors in 2012 (at age 15). While I was in college, I had the privledge to intern as a front-end developer at a foundation in Poland (2016), study graphic design in the London (2017), and intern at Design for America in Chicago (2018). I received my bachelor's degree in sociology from Rice University in 2019, and since then I have done design work for agencies, in-house, and freelance.

I am currently serving on the AIGA Houston board of directors, and I am passionate about growing as a designer and applying design for social good. I strive to be a good designer and a good mentor. My goal is to one day be a compassionate, open-minded, and approachable design leader, but right now I am having a blast designing and developing cool things.
