About Me

Staff UX/UI Designer · Design Systems Governance, Organizational Influence & Production Interface Design

I specialize in the kind of design work that holds organizations together: building the systems, standards, and governance frameworks that let teams move fast without losing quality or coherence. My career has been defined by operating at the intersection of design craft and organizational influence, making the right design decisions and then making sure they actually stick.

At Wheels, Inc., I govern a design system that unifies three merged companies under a single visual and interaction language across web and mobile. That means owning the component library, defining the guardrails, writing the documentation, and stepping in, with principled rationale, when teams diverge from the system. It also means navigating high-stakes conversations with product, engineering, marketing, and external partners on a daily basis.

I hold an MA in Graphic and Web Design from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, which sharpened a craft foundation I had been building since 2016 across financial tools, nonprofit digital products, fleet management platforms, and enterprise SaaS. I am at my best in roles where design quality is non-negotiable and systems thinking is the mechanism for delivering it at scale.
