About

I’m a Digital Designer in San Francisco. Most recently, I was at Hivemapper and Bee Maps, helping define the brand and build products people rely on. I work best with teams that want to ship great work, not just discuss it. I’m comfortable leading the full arc from problem definition through execution, and I enjoy collaborating with engineering and leadership to align early, ship with purpose, and keep the bar high.
