My passion for design started long before I knew it was a career. As a kid, I’d spend countless hours playing The Sims, tearing down neighborhoods and rebuilding them into something more functional and thoughtfully designed. In high school, I performed in more than 10 plays and musicals, where I learned to step into someone else’s perspective and develop deep empathy for the characters I portrayed. Looking back, I realize these experiences shaped the way I approach design today: with curiosity, empathy, and a constant drive to improve how people experience the world around them.

Today, I bring that same mindset to product design. I listen for where people get stuck, break down complex experiences, and design intuitive solutions that eliminate friction. For the past three years at J.P. Morgan Chase, I’ve designed products alongside talented teams, always with one goal: creating experiences people can trust.

Outside of design, I’m spending time with my dog, collecting more plants than I probably should, and exploring new cities—finding inspiration in the small details of everyday life .
