About me
Over the past decade in design, I’ve developed a strong foundation in solving the right problems—not just refining aesthetics.
My career spans deeply complex enterprise environments—from designing tools for manufacturing and factory automation at Boeing to shaping foundational experiences at Oracle through the Redwood Design System. In these spaces, I’ve learned that meaningful innovation requires a beginner’s mindset: the willingness to challenge assumptions, navigate ambiguity, and reimagine what’s possible.
My practice is inherently iterative and collaborative, grounded in the idea that design is a living conversation rather than a static outcome. As AI accelerates the creation of “good enough” solutions, my focus is on designing experiences that remain distinctly human—experiences that build trust, invite understanding, and create lasting impact.
