about me

growing up across cultures

I grew up as a military kid and moved around the world a lot. Experiencing different cultures early on shaped how I see the world. It made me curious about people, how they live, and how the systems around them affect their everyday lives.

why I build products

I’m drawn to building products that make life easier and help people connect. There’s something really fulfilling about creating something that real people use every day.

from operations to product

Before design, I worked in operations solving real-world problems every day. That experience showed me how messy systems can get behind the scenes — and pushed me toward building clearer, more thoughtful products.
