I’ve led product design initiatives at Sherwin-Williams and CVS, shaping tools used across 5,000+ stores and mobile experiences reaching millions. My case studies reflect over a decade of hands-on UX and product work—grounded in real-world implementation, platform-native design, and research-informed decisions. I bring formal training in philosophy, visual communication, and UX to every problem I solve. Lately, I’ve been exploring how AI can enhance product design—supporting better research workflows and powering generative features in user-facing tools.

This site is more than a place to showcase my work—it’s a practice of thoughtful reflection and continuous improvement. Taking the time to document and analyze past projects allows me to refine my thinking, sharpen my skills, and evolve my approach as a designer.
By structuring case studies as detailed narratives, I create space to consider what worked, what didn’t, and how I can apply these insights moving forward. This kind of deep engagement isn’t just about presenting past projects—it’s about cultivating the kind of rigorous thinking that leads to better design decisions in the future.
About MeTransforming mobile onboarding, extending self-service functionality, and aligning debt resolution tools with user expectations (under construction)
These case studies were completed as part of a studio-based curriculum simulating real-world product design challenges. While not affiliated with the companies named, each project applies UX research, information architecture, and design thinking to business-relevant problems. Where possible, outreach to industry professionals informed the approach.

Exploring foundational ideas through philosophy, visual storytelling, and speculative design.
This section includes selected work that reflects my broader interests in communication, ethics, and aesthetics. It highlights how my early training in philosophy and visual design continue to shape my thinking — from the way I synthesize complexity to the way I engage with design as a critical, cultural, and emotional practice.
