What I care about

I’m a New York–based product designer who enjoys making complex products easier to use. The most rewarding part is knowing that even a small design improvement I make can save someone time and frustration.

Currently at Securitas, I design the app our security officers use in the field and the portal our clients use to manage their security. After starting as an intern in May 2024, I joined full-time just four months later. I've designed our navigation, billing, service requests, user permissions system, and more, alongside leading and contributing to user research, requirements writing, and UX QA.

Outside of work, I’ve been exploring how AI can help turn my ideas into working products. Pearl is an oyster-logging app, FieldLedger is a digital workspace for contractors, and LineShift is an AI betting agent designed to help users find an edge. All three were designed and built independently. They are a work in progress, but learning to build what I design has been just as rewarding as designing them.

I studied Information and UX Design at the University of Michigan. Away from screens, you’ll find me spending time with family and friends, traveling, exploring new food, watching movies and sports, playing chess, pool, flag football, and going on hikes.
