I design clarity
into systems that
carry real weight.
Senior UX Designer based in Northern Virginia with 12+ years of experience in cybersecurity, IT operations, and data-rich enterprise platforms. I specialize in the work people don't see: the moments where a misread visualization or an unclear AI output could cost a company a deal, a customer, or worse.
My approach starts with the system, not the screen. Before I think about what something looks like, I need to understand what it does, who depends on it, and what happens when it fails.
I take trust seriously, especially in AI-assisted products. When a tool surfaces analysis that people rely on for real decisions, the design of that experience has to reflect the weight of that responsibility.
I design for high-stakes products — the kind where a confusing interface isn't just friction, it's a bad decision waiting to happen. Threat intelligence platforms, AI-powered tools, enterprise analytics. Twelve years of technically complex work with real business consequences.
I care about outcomes. Not just usability, but adoption, retention, and whether the thing we shipped actually moved a metric. I've spent a lot of time in rooms where UX and business strategy overlap, and I'm comfortable in both.
- Problems that are complex and consequential
- Teams that treat design as a strategic partner
- Decisions that connect user needs to business results
- Collaboration across PM, engineering, and domain experts
Outside of work, I'm a mom of two, a painter, a boxer, a lego builder, a foodie, a traveler, and a video game enthusiast who's currently learning guitar. I survived breast cancer, which has a way of clarifying what actually matters. I paint with oils — whatever's moving through me, whether that's surrealism or something I dreamed — because it slows my brain down in a way nothing else does. I make things. I always have. That's not separate from the work I do — it's the same impulse.
