About me

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been creating.

I grew up classically trained in fine art, which shaped my love for visual storytelling and attention to craft. Watching my dad navigate a terminal illness also shaped the way I think about accessibility and the impact design can have on people's lives. Together, these experiences led me to a field where creativity and empathy could make a meaningful difference.


Today, I'm a product designer who loves making complex technology feel clear, intuitive, and human. Most recently, I led a 0→1 conversational AI project at Google Maps, bringing together product thinking, research, and visual design to rethink how people discover places.


I'm finishing dual degrees in Design and Information Science at the University of Michigan, alongside a minor in Human-Centered AI. I'm especially interested in the intersection of design and technology, and love exploring how programming and emerging tools can bring ideas to life.

I've always loved drawing (and cats).
