UX/Product Designer | Making the Complex Feel Effortless | Shipping Thoughtful, Scalable Design Fast | Ex-UX @Rocket Mortgage | M.S. HCI | Open to UX/Product Roles
I’m a UX Designer who loves turning messy, complex problems into clear, intuitive experiences. With a background in strategic research and cross-functional collaboration, I’ve helped struggling products find their footing by uncovering what users truly need, not just what they say they want. I thrive in fast-moving environments where I can bring structure to ambiguity and build scalable, human-centered solutions. Currently exploring UX, Product Design, or UX Research roles where thoughtful design meets real impact.
