I’m not an Oscar winner (yet!), but I am an enterprise product designer with 10+ years’ experience across media, telecom, and higher education, and hands-on skills in front-end development and AI. I specialize in helping users navigate complex workflows across interconnected systems such as customer databases, product catalogs, and data management.

As a former set designer turned product designer, I loved building environments that put the spotlight on actors and let them focus on their motivations and obstacles. That instinct remains: as a product designer, I shape the environment so users can focus on their goals and the real obstacles, instead of wrestling with their tools.

Behind the scenes I’m also a reader, a lover of words, and a builder of props out of hot-glue and cardboard.

I once turned down an invitation to an acting workshop from Carl Weathers (Rocky, The Mandalorian). Who’d have thought it’d be UX design for photo editors that would take me to the Academy Awards?

Guess I made the red carpet after all!
