Within the world of product design, I care deeply and feel most passionate about visual design, advocating for the end user, and being a quality teammate. I believe truly great design leads to business growth because of how we solve our customers’ real problems; critically, this includes understanding the problem behind what our customers are telling us, shipping software people actually want to use, and using both qualitative & quantitative evidence to inform and measure these decisions.

I believe good design work leads to a healthy tension. Advocating for our customers is not always a smooth process. Currently I’m working as a Senior Product Designer on the design team at Bark.com, specifically focused on making our suite of mobile apps an increasing pivotal piece of our total business value.

Before working at Bark, I was building Reforge’s new product offering, Work Artifacts, and partnering with some of the brightest minds in tech to design learning experiences. We built industry-leading content on topics like Product and Growth Leadership, Data for PMs, and Finding Product/Market Fit. In total, the 5 programs I worked on accounted for $11.2 million in business revenue over 2 years and consistently ranked as top performing cohorts.

Since 2020 I’ve also been building Urality, a community activation platform. Most recently my work here has focused on designing tooling for executive Main Street professionals and community leaders in communities of 10,000 to 75,000 people.

Before falling in love with the field of design, I got my start working in the trade publishing industry for various large publishers, including Penguin Random House, as a managing editor of physical and digital products. It was there I first worked with designers of all kinds — type, visual, graphic, physical — and discovered where I wanted to go next in my career.
