About Me
About Me


I’m a UX designer at the University of Michigan’s Center for Academic Innovation, building the future of online learning. Product designer working at the intersection of visual systems and interface craft. I care about the moments where a product stops feeling like software and starts feeling alive.
My training at Washington University in St. Louis spans Communication Design, Cognitive Science, and Human–Computer Interaction. Past work includes a gamified feature for the Panda Express app (16M users, $1B+ in sales), a Gen-AI product redesign that drove a 50% transaction increase, and interactive experiences for ZEISS.
Outside of client work, I'm building daily creative-code experiments, digging through design archives, and exploring vernacular typography across Latin America.
