UX Strategist · Atlanta, GA

Helping teams make better product decisions through research, strategy, and human-centered design.

I translate customer insights into product direction for complex enterprise systems. My work shapes what teams build, and often, what they choose not to build.

Beyond UX

A few things that make me, me.

The habits and curiosities that shape how I think about product work.

  • I love doing 1,000 piece puzzles. I glue, frame, and hang them around my home once they're finished.

  • I ask "why?" enough to accidentally become the unofficial researcher in almost every room.

  • My favorite products are the ones you barely notice. They quietly make life easier.

  • If we're whiteboarding together, expect sticky notes, bullet points, and a large engineering free body diagram. You're welcome.
