ABOUT
Head of Design / Seattle, WA
My journey into design leadership started with a fascination for how people interact with technology. After earning my BA from Seattle Pacific University, I pursued a Master's in Learning & Technology at WGU, focused on integrating technology into the classroom. While the degree was in education, the skills I built there carry over every day: understanding how different people learn, communicating complex ideas clearly, and adapting my approach to meet people where they are. Those instincts now shape how I lead a design team and mentor designers with different strengths and working styles.
A Google UX Design Certificate sharpened my design thinking toolkit, and I transitioned from UX Designer to UX Engineer, combining my love for visual design with hands-on front-end development.
Today, as Head of Design, I split my time between leading a team of designers and doing hands-on design work myself. I approve all design output, drive product strategy, and make higher-level decisions that shape the user experience across our entire product suite, but I'm also still in Figma every day working on projects alongside my team. My background in both design and engineering gives me a unique lens for mentoring my team and ensuring we ship work that is both beautiful and technically sound.
