About me

I design human-centred, accessible experiences that tell clear, meaningful stories.

I’m a UX and product designer with a background in illustration and visual storytelling. I help digital product teams create accessible, human-centred experiences by combining UX strategy, inclusive design, and storytelling.

Visual storytelling has always fueled my empathy. It’s how I learned to see the world through others’ eyes. My comics about life with stuttering, for example, taught me how to express complex emotions visually and communicate in ways that connect deeply with people.

That same mindset guides my UX work. I listen, observe, and design experiences that make people feel understood.

Whether I’m mapping a user journey, improving accessibility for a design system, or simplifying a complex workflow, I use design as a storytelling tool to clarify, include, and build understanding.

I’m especially passionate about accessibility and ensuring digital products are usable and welcoming to everyone. My process blends research, systems thinking, and visual communication to make complexity simple and empathy actionable.

If you’re looking for a designer who brings creativity, curiosity, and compassion to every project, let’s connect!
