About

I currently am one of two Senior Systems Designers at Ribbon Home working exclusively on design systems since June of 2022. Before that, I was the only designer at Shoflo, designing live event production software and their design system.

When not tinkering with Figma, I am working on a fintech app (thyme), a community accessibility resource (a11y initiative), or on my 6+ year freelance client project helping usher in the next era of entrepreneurs.

I have been designing for 8+ years with a focus on creating accessible design systems. Outside of tech, I enjoy baking, fermentation, coffee, gardening, EDM, and travel.
