I'm a midwestern woman with an addiction to thrift stores and Indian food. I have more jackets than you. I foster grandpa and grandma dogs, eat a significant quantity of cheese, and consider myself a polycraft (maker of many crafts.)

I love San Francisco unironically, unapologetically, and have been proud to live here for the last 14 years.

Stuff I do / crafty nonsense.

About

I'm a product designer and AI-enabled builder with over a decade of experience joining companies at day one. I care deeply about whether a product is beautiful, intuitive, and genuinely useful — especially in the most tangled, broken industries.

Building software is getting faster and cheaper everyday. I believe it's never been more important to bring taste, judgment, and experience to what gets built. Let's align teams around a common vision, and hold the quality bar high.
