I'm not an Oscar winner (yet!), but I am a product designer with 10+ years' experience across media, telecom, and higher education, with 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 an environment that put the spotlight on actors, so they could focus on what they needed to do onstage. That instinct remains: as a product designer, I shape the environment so users can focus on their goals, and not friction from 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 that would take me to the Academy Awards?

Guess I made the red carpet after all!
