What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a mission-driven team building products people can rely on, where I can work closely with engineering to shape strategy, interaction design, and practical product outcomes.

I'm the founding product designer for Project Topaz, shaping an exploratory consumer mapping platform where maps adapt as people pan and zoom. I lead product strategy, interaction design, and prototyping alongside engineering using Figma, Cursor, Claude, and MapLibre.

At Nike, I designed and contributed SvelteKit code to an internal analytics explorer that made modernized clickstream data searchable across five digital products. Previously at EY Studio+, I led end-to-end product design for enterprise platforms, AI tools, and consumer experiences for Fortune 500 clients.

My work has improved crew hiring completion rates, reduced recruiter support inquiries, designed HIPAA-compliant pharmacy flows, and established AI interaction patterns adopted internally. I also lead digital communications for the Valdez Avalanche Center, making critical avalanche information more accessible to Alaska’s backcountry community.
