About
From blueprints
to interfaces.
I've been drawing since I was two — first on my parents' walls, eventually (to their relief) on real canvases. That love of making things led me to architecture, where I spent years designing buildings and the spaces people live in.
Architecture taught me to walk through a space before it exists — to stand in the future occupant's shoes and feel whether it works. But buildings are slow and costly, and ideas rarely survive the budget. I wanted to design for people faster, and keep iterating until it's right. That's what pulled me into UX.
Now I design enterprise and consumer products end to end — research, flows, and interfaces — bringing an architect's sense of how people move through a space to every screen. Most recently at PNC, I led the Funding Desk platform and cut a 60-day change-control process down to four.
