Designing for complexity — research-driven, systems-first, built to be reused, not just shipped.
I’ve built new institutional products from the ground up, brought structure to mature systems too high-stakes to redesign carelessly, and led the design-system work that outlasts any one project. Along the way: university libraries, federal agencies, high-stakes commerce flows, and the executive stakeholders who each needed something different from the same person. Currently a Senior UX Designer at the American Psychological Association.
