Bio

I'm a senior UX designer and engineer working across product strategy, interaction design, design systems, accessibility, and front-end implementation. Over the past 12+ years, I've helped shape financial experiences used by clients, advisors, and internal teams.

At Equitable, I lead UX strategy, shape major product work, build reusable patterns, mentor designers, and work closely with product and engineering.

I'm interested in Principal, Staff, and Lead roles where I can improve both individual products and the systems teams use to build them.
