Hi there! Thanks for stopping by.
I've spent my career designing at the intersection of technical systems and real human behavior. I bring product, design, and engineering together early so we're solving the right problems from the start. That alignment leads to clearer decisions and work that actually ships.
I care about how things are built, not just how they look. I work closely with engineering to understand constraints, edge cases, and how the system really behaves, because that's where many of the most important design decisions happen.
I'm particularly interested in how people build trust in technology over time as automation, personalization, and AI become part of everyday life.
Today I lead a team of product designers while also staying close to the work itself. I help teams navigate ambiguity, connect customer needs to technical realities, and grow their ability to influence product direction.
When I'm not working, you'll find me tackling interior design projects, experimenting with photography, or hanging out with my family.
ON MY MIND LATELY...
How people learn to trust automation over time, especially in their homes
The line between letting the system decide and keeping humans in control
When AI is the right tool and when it's just the trend
Building trust with engineering to influence what actually ships
How designers develop judgment, not just design skills
When to protect the team from process and when to layer it in
Making sense of complex data presentation with the team at CIBO. (2019)
Visiting family in Croatia was every bit as beautiful as I expected.
My heart.
