Turning sketches into shipped experiences

I've shipped UX, brand, and print work for tech nonprofits, startups, and consumer brands, from parole-prep tools for incarcerated learners to website redesigns and full brand launches.

I iterate and ship fast, using AI tools to accelerate prototyping, refinement, and handoff, while keeping decisions grounded in research, analytics, and usability testing.

I'm based in Southern California, open to relocation for full-time roles with positive impact.

Let’s build together!
