With decades of UX/design experience, I love using my skills to make sense of messy challenges to help people and teams do their best work. 🙌 I thrive on building community, streamlining workflows, and easing in change.
You can find me sharing my experiences through my blog, podcast series, and my career coaching service.

🎧 Podcasts
- I co-host UX in Real Life with my friend Mary Fran. Since 2021, we’ve been talking about what working in UX is really like and the UX of things in everyday life. We started streaming episodes live on Twitch and YouTube to feel more connected with the community. Recorded episodes are on Apple, Spotify, and other podcast services.
- Design Systems WTF is a podcast I co-host with my pal Luke Murphy. Design systems are full of WTF moments, and we attempt to answer those trickier questions. We record episodes live and are on most major podcast services.
🙌 From the Margins
I run From the Margins, a career coaching service that helps people achieve their career goals in tech. Coming from a marginalized and underrepresented community, I know the hardships that come with trying to navigate a career, especially in tech. My own experiences from growing my career to hiring people offer me a unique perspective that can help support others in their career growth.
🏕️ Outside of work
When I’m not working, I try to be outside as much as possible—hiking, camping, driving my Ford Fiesta ST, scuba diving, and striving for tree equity. If I weren’t in design/tech, I probably would have become an entomologist. 🪲
