As a UX and Conversation Designer with 15 years of experience, I focus on bringing efficiency and simplicity to complex user problems. My design philosophy remains the same whether I am building for a screen or an open-ended voice agent: even the most complex scenarios deserve a simple, delightful solution.

My background in Psychology anchors my work. I center my process on the human beings on the other side of the technology focusing on their goals, their capabilities, their context, and their problems. Because I am an efficiency nerd at heart, I am always looking at what works (and what doesn't) in the world around me. I love creating and improving reliable systems for myself, my teams, and my users, often pulling inspiration from unexpected places.

Outside of Work

When I step away from the keyboard, my design-thinking translates into wrangling my busy family life. I’m a mom of two young children that keep me on my toes. My husband, a science teacher, and I spend our time finding the next adventure to take our kids on in the Bay Area.

To unplug and recharge, I trade digital interfaces for tactile ones. I am an avid crafter, and you can usually find me quilting, crocheting, or diving into a new creative hobby.
