A lifelong passion for learning and discovery drives my love of design.

What I’ve been up to lately at Atlassian (Trello):
Leading cross-product designs linking Trello with Loom and Jira, shipping growth and onboarding experiences, and exploring AI-enabled workflows. Contact me to learn more.

My design career has unfolded in a uniquely winding path, starting with my work for landmark beauty brands Estée Lauder and Origins, where I created brand design across global skincare, makeup and holiday markets.

As an independent creative, I founded an e-commerce stationery business, designing and shipping modern invitations for hundreds of clients. I also expanded my consultant practice, designing identities, event design, and web and mobile designs for e-commerce, SaaS and consumer brands.

I became deeply interested in user experience, seeing firsthand the impact user-centric design has on both profit and customer happiness. This led me to explore product design, allowing me to dig deeper into ambiguous, complex workflows, although brand and visual design is still my north-star sweet spot.

Outside of design, I enjoy playing with paint, reading with my book club, hiking, and relaxing outside with our goofy cattle dog mix, Gus.

Curiosity

An inquisitive spirit driven by a passion for research, I relish the initial phase of a project, and embrace new findings throughout the journey.

Empathy

Finding common ground, practicing active listening, and helping others rise to their best level are key to how I work.

Experimentation

Exploring iterations and staying open to unexpected solutions and new thought strategies drives design breakthroughs.

Problem Solving

I’m well-versed in the fluidity of business challenges. The ability to pivot, and to communicate changes to a team, are essential skills in my toolkit.

Refined Aesthetic

My visual expertise is an asset across the design process, allowing me to create high fidelity, polished designs quickly.

Always Learning

Whether it’s a new design project, an artistic endeavor or trying a new sport (hello, pickleball!), embracing the unknown is my fave.
