About me

I started off in architecture—breathing new life into old buildings in Richmond, Virginia. This laid my foundation for designing at the intersection of cities, people, systems, and details.

From there, I delved into community development—creating a design/build program for high school students and running a farmers market + creative hub in Austin. It was hands-on, experimental, and locally impactful.

I eventually found my way into service and product design—leveraging my skill sets to empower meaningful impact at scale. I know what it takes to build things, and I’ve worked with incredible teams to activate change within organizations and communities.

I hold a MDes in Interaction Design from California College of the Arts, and a BS in Architecture from the University of Virginia. I currently work as a freelance designer, live in a community of 14 people, and make things like light fixtures and shadow puppets on the side.
