My design journey began in 2007, when I begged my mom for a copy of Photoshop. She replied, “No, you spend too much time on the computer.” Determined, I scoured the internet and downloaded GIMP. I taught myself HTML/CSS to use with my designs to create custom profile pages for my friends’ Neopets and Gaiaonline pages, unknowingly planting the seed for what would become a lifelong career.

Over the years, that curiosity evolved into leadership. I’ve led visual direction across client projects, delivering end-to-end design packages including branding, digital and print assets, and 0-to-1 user flows. Most recently, I’ve served as the lead product designer at Catalist, a B2B SaaS ATS, where I collaborate closely with clients to identify pain points and turn their feedback into real product improvements.

Outside of work (yes, I do have a life—kind of), you’ll find me rock climbing, gaming, driving an hour to eat somewhere I saw on TikTok, or running my small illustration business where I sell stickers and apparel. I’m also a former collegiate golfer, so if you’re ever down for a round, I’m in!
