A bit about me
I consider myself a holistic UX practitioner, creating human-centered experiences through research, product, business, and systems. I’m currently a Senior Strategic Designer with UPMC Enterprises, helping drive patient-centric healthcare for over 3 million patients throughout Western Pennsylvania. Previously I’ve designed in banking, aviation systems, and healthcare technology.
When I’m not waist-deep in Figma files, you can find me coaching with my local soccer team, tackling my next woodworking passion project, or mentoring young designers at one of Pittsburgh’s UX hackathons.
