About
In my work as a UX designer, I love designing systems to meet user needs. This can take many forms: designing an interface to help a teacher find a course, designing a file structure to help team members find documents, designing a workshop template to help product managers and designers align on research goals. Outside of work, I love exploring different forms of design — clothing, books, images, experiences — to help me understand myself and connect with others.
