Over the past decade, I’ve led teams and projects that turn complex systems into experiences that feel natural, intuitive, and human.
I started my career designing interfaces, but somewhere along the way I realized my real obsession wasn’t just pixels — it was the patterns underneath them. The systems that keep teams aligned, the invisible logic that makes a product feel seamless, the decisions that make chaos look calm. That curiosity pulled me into design systems, product strategy, and now AI-driven platforms — spaces where creativity meets structure and design can scale.
My path into design started early. As a teenager growing up in Maryland, I taught myself to build websites from scratch — learning code, servers, and structure before I could drive a car. I’ve always had a soft spot for things that are clean, organized, and built to last. That same instinct still guides how I design today.
I’ve spent most of my career at Publicis Sapient, leading cross-functional initiatives for enterprise clients, and more recently helping to build an AI-powered platform that reimagines how teams plan, create, and optimize digital experiences. I’ve also led the design system that unified Wawa’s digital ecosystem, and on the side, I run a food blog called Chompions, where I experiment with AI tools and apply design thinking to storytelling and flavor.
What drives me is the challenge of simplifying the complicated — the moment when design stops being decoration and starts becoming direction. I like teams that think out loud, projects that stretch possibility, and work that has a little spark of delight hiding inside all that order.

“Teamwork is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results."
— Andrew Carnegie
I love working on cross-functional teams where everyone brings something different to the table. I’m especially passionate about leadership and mentorship—it’s incredibly rewarding to support people as they grow in their careers (and as humans). I try to create a warm, inclusive vibe wherever I go, because I really believe that people do their best work when they feel safe, seen, and supported.
Outside of work, I’m usually hanging out with my dog, testing new recipes for my blog, or planning my next adventure.
