About

I'm a Product Designer based on South Padre Island, TX with a background that spans graphic design, UX research, and product psychology. I went deep on the craft at Flagler College and sharpened the practice through UT Austin's UX/UI certification — and I've been deliberately learning ever since, whether that's through Growth.Design's Product Psychology Masterclass or experimenting with AI to find faster, smarter ways to solve problems.
I specialize in turning messy, complex requirements into interfaces that feel obvious in hindsight — the kind developers enjoy building and users don't have to think about. My process is research-first, but my real strength is people. I ask a lot of questions, take feedback well, and work best embedded in cross-functional teams where collaboration isn't a step in the process, it's the whole thing. I've never met a pivot I couldn't work with.
AI is already part of how I work — I use it to accelerate exploration, pressure-test assumptions, and protect time for the thinking that actually moves products forward.
When I'm not designing, I'm somewhere near water with a thriller I can't put down — sand in the pages and all.
