About

I'm a product designer creating intuitive, scalable interfaces for AI-first systems. I'm driven by curiosity and an interest in emerging interaction models, building products that reduce friction, feel considered in the details, and create moments of delight.

When I'm not designing, I'm usually wandering farmers markets, attempting ceramics, or perfecting snack plates, which led me to code a girl dinner generator here
