About
As Lead Product Designer at Realtor.com, I’m shaping the future of homebuying through mobile-first designs and scalable systems. Previously, I led design efforts at USAA, enhancing member experiences, and at Under Armour, improving digital fitness tools for millions. I focus on building scalable systems, mentoring teams, and fostering collaboration to create meaningful, accessible solutions that improve lives.
When I’m not designing, you’ll find me making pottery or tackling a house project.
