Product designer based in St. Paul, MN. I’ve led 0→1 mobile design in mental health, working scrappily with an MVP mindset to build products that truly help people. I hold a Master’s in Technical Communication with a focus in UX Design.

How I approach design

01.

Start with empathy

Great design begins with listening. Understanding people’s needs, context, and challenges is always the first step.

02.

Design for outcomes

t’s not just about how it looks, it’s about what it does. Effective solutions balance user needs, technical realities, and business goals.

03.

Build it together

The best ideas come from collaboration. Working closely with teammates helps uncover blind spots and keeps everyone aligned.

03.

Design for inclusion

Accessibility and inclusivity are baked into the process, so every user feels considered, supported, and respected.

My origin story

Losing my best friend to suicide sparked a deep passion for designing mental health products that make people feel seen and supported. Over the past three years, I’ve channeled this passion into action, crafting human-centered designs that drive meaningful outcomes for mission-driven startups and personal projects.
