Designing for Impact, Not Just Outcomes

I'm a UX/UI designer who believes that meaningful design serves people and the planet — not just profit margins.

What Drives Me

I'm not here to design just another app or website. I'm here to create digital experiences that contribute to a more just, peaceful, and sustainable world. My work is guided by three core commitments:

🌍

Environmental Stewardship

Protecting and restoring our planet through design that supports sustainability and climate action.

Faith & Justice

Integrating spiritual values with the pursuit of equity, peace, and human dignity for all.

🌱

Holistic Growth

Supporting mental health, personal development, and human flourishing in every project.

How I Work

My Top Strengths

  • Strategic Thinking
  • Relationship Building
  • Empathy & Connection
  • Developer Mindset

What This Means for You

  • I see the big picture while caring deeply about individual user needs
  • I bridge "hard" business goals with "soft" human considerations
  • I collaborate effectively with engineers and stakeholders
  • I bring both ideation and execution to the table

My Journey

I've spent 2+ years working across the full design lifecycle — from leading design for complex web applications in regulated industries to conducting in-depth user research and usability testing for climate tech startups.

I've navigated startup culture, large 3,000+ employee organizations, and everything in between. Along the way, I've learned how to balance rapid iteration with thoughtful, user-centered design.

But here's what matters most: I'm intentionally pivoting away from industries that don't align with my values. Life is too short — and the world's challenges too urgent — to spend my days on work that doesn't contribute to healing and justice.

Personal challenges, including the loss of close family members, have deepened my empathy and resilience. I bring that groundedness to every project, every conversation, and every design decision.

Looking for Vocation, Not Just a Job

"I refuse to settle for 'business as usual.' I'm seeking work that contributes to a more peaceful, just, and sustainable world — one thoughtful design at a time."
