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 Art & Design and Information 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.
