About
I’m an innovative problem solver fueled by a deep passion for design and technology, a love that ignited in my childhood fascination with visual art. My career journey has taken me from vibrant startups to esteemed Fortune 500 companies, where I’ve sharpened my creative skills and learned to navigate diverse business needs and team cultures.
When I’m not advocating for users, you can catch me rock climbing, nurturing my garden, exploring new destinations, or crafting unique pieces on the pottery wheel.
