I've spent my career figuring out how to make complex systems feel human. I've designed solutions across edtech, fintech, global tech, and now digital banking.
My work includes short- and long-form writing rooted in generative design research. I design, implement, and test digital experiences that invite community engagement. My research and practice focus on the function of toolkits to empower stakeholders to cocreate accessible and adaptable design solutions. I'm particularly interested in codesign applications in the product development process.
I live with my husband and dogs in Northern Michigan, where I find much of the inspiration for my work.
