About me

I started my career as a graphic designer before transitioning to digital product design. That background gives me a unique perspective on crafting experiences that are both functional and visually refined.

My approach is simple: understand the problem deeply, then design the simplest solution that works. I believe great design should feel invisible, getting out of the way so people can accomplish what they came to do.

When I am not designing, you will find me hiking trails around the Pacific Northwest, experimenting with film photography, or building furniture in my garage workshop.

Why work with me

I bring a different approach to design collaboration.

Clear communication

No design jargon or vague timelines. You will always know where we are and what comes next.

Fast iteration

I work in short cycles with frequent check-ins, so we can adjust course quickly when needed.

Business-minded

Design decisions are always tied to your goals. Pretty is nice, but effective is essential.

Common questions

What does your design process look like?

Every project starts with understanding your business goals and user needs. From there, I move through research, wireframing, visual design, and prototyping with regular feedback sessions along the way.

Do you work with startups or established companies?

Both. I enjoy the speed and scrappiness of startups, but I also appreciate the complexity and scale of enterprise projects. The approach varies, but the focus on user needs stays the same.

Can you help with development as well?

I can build marketing sites and simple web apps using Webflow and Framer. For more complex development, I work with trusted development partners and provide detailed handoff documentation.

What are your rates?

I offer both project-based pricing and monthly retainers depending on the scope and duration of the engagement. Get in touch and I will provide a custom quote based on your needs.
