about

     Why am I a designer? Because I learned early on that communication isn’t just about words—it’s about connection.

     Before becoming a designer I taught several different grades, one of which was kindergarten. My students could't yet read, so I had to design ways for them to see meaning: picture schedules, color-coded stations, gesture cues, and visual stories that made complex ideas tangible. Teaching five-year-olds taught me to think like a designer—to communicate clearly, anticipate confusion, and create systems that help everyone find their way.​

     Classrooms are a microcosm of the world: people at different stages of development, trying to understand and be understood. That experience shaped how I approach design today. Whether it’s helping someone navigate an airport, interpret a medical pamphlet, or

use an app, I aim to make information accessible, intuitive, and kind.

​     I design because I believe everyone deserves to feel included, capable, and in-the-know.
