I am a life-long creative who started drawing at an early age. Taking ideas that only existed in my mind and putting them on paper seemed like sorcery.
Ever since, I have followed the magic into the field of design.
In the early days of tech I was an art director for Streaming Magazine. This led to my first introduction to the dot-com era at Radiocentral where I designed and built some of the first streaming user interfaces for companies like A&E, Earthlink, and Lycos. I took a break from tech to get back to my print and prepress roots at the San Francisco Business Times. While there I sharpened my creative skills by creating ad campaigns for local businesses—increasing revenue for the publication.
After a three-years of running a small studio serving a wide variety of clients in the tech sector like MobiTV, Illumobile, and iMeem I took on a formal design role at Eventbrite. While there I mixed code and culture together—HTML/CSS event pages, environmental graphics for various live events, and eventually design leadership.
As Lead Brand Designer at Tilt, I helped shape a startup that became a frat-household name—until Airbnb acquired it.
My curiosity of the product development process led me to pursue product design roles. UJET pushed me deeper into product: scaling UI systems, smoothing complex workflows, and tightening collaboration with engineering. Branch expanded that globally, from design systems to research-driven onboarding across multiple markets.
Now as a Lead Product Designer at Meta currently focused on building governance tooling that facilitates quality adherence processes.
When I am not at Meta I create collage art, exhibiting in galleries, creating murals, and featured in multiple art publications.
