About me
About me
I’m a digital product designer with 15+ years of experience - with a strong focus on accessibility, interaction design, and design systems. I’ve led teams, shaped strategy, rolled up my sleeves when needed, and I genuinely care about making design work better for people (on both sides of the screen). I’m a true geek at heart and obsessed with anything and everything tech.

Always Learning, Always Listening
Always Learning, Always Listening
I’m always tuning into design, accessibility, and tech podcasts, it's how I stay sharp and stay curious.
Whether I’m brushing up on the latest trends or deep-diving into niche topics, this is my way of learning on the go.
And when I’m not listening, I’m co-hosting two podcasts of my own, because talking about design is just as fun as doing it.
