Hi there! I’m a design lead – creating delightful, inclusive experiences by connecting business needs, user insights, design excellence and strategic delivery.

With 10+ years of experience across design disciplines, I approach my process with human-centred design principles, making sure each interaction adds value and delivers impact. 

In any environment, I remember to have fun and make the best work I possibly can ✨ 💁🏻‍♀️

Inspired by those that helped me, I strive to be a cheerleader and soundboard for fellow designers. I have helped peers finding their paths, reaching their goals and getting the job they want.
