Senior Product Designer specializing in trust, security, and platform systems. My work lives at the intersection of complex technical constraints and real user needs. At GitLab I design the permission and authentication infrastructure that enterprise teams depend on to stay secure and compliant.
I spend my free time making ceramics, walking the city, eating my way through New York, and chasing my cat.
I design for trust. Permissions, authentication, access control, consent flows. The systems that determine what users can do, what they can see, and whether they feel safe doing it. As AI changes how products work, getting these systems right matters more than ever.
Before design I spent years in Business Operations and Finance. That background gives me an instinct for the business logic underneath a product decision. I move fast, I connect design to outcomes, and I use AI tools actively in my workflow to do both better.
I studied Business Finance at San Francisco State University then pivoted into technology working for high-growth startups in operations and monetization. In 2020 I recognized how monetization programs can only scale with product partnership and went through a UX Design Bootcamp to develop those skills. I have worked as a Product Designer ever since, most recently at GitLab designing authorization, authentication, and access control systems.
I work best in ambiguous, high-stakes problem spaces where the scope is still being defined and the solution has to hold up across an entire platform.
