My Superpowers
Designing for Understanding + Learning
I’m drawn to complex ideas - then making them simple, clear, and human. Whether I’m working on a website, set of curriculum, or system flow, I focus on how people absorb information and learn through interaction.
I work best when asking thoughtful questions, listening closely, and building off others’ strengths and experiences. I very much enjoy working in teams where learning from engineers, strategists, and users leads to more effective outcomes.
Clarity Over Noise
I believe in design that communicates, not decorates (though decoration is at the core of all design!). From wireframes to pitch decks, I strip ideas down to their clearest, most engaging form, especially when explaining new technologies or systems.
Momentum, with Purpose
I balance thoughtfulness with forward motion, knowing when to explore and when to build. I take initiative to move things toward new possibilities, but always with intention and attention to user impact.
