About
Designing the layers most users never see.
I design within complex, regulated ecosystems where identity, security, ownership, and communication intersect. My work centers on defining cross-platform foundations that support long-term product cohesion across mobile and web.
At General Motors, I’ve shaped authentication, account, and notification systems across multiple brands — clarifying interaction patterns, aligning cross-functional stakeholders, and strengthening structural integrity beneath customer-facing features.

How I work
End-to-end ownership
I operate from problem framing through delivery — translating ambiguous requirements, platform dependencies, and regulatory constraints into structured design decisions.
Tradeoff navigation
I work closely with product, engineering, legal, and content teams to clarify risks, define guardrails, and align on scalable solutions that balance flexibility with governance.
Foundation over features
My focus is not isolated screens, but the product layer beneath them — ensuring that new capabilities strengthen, rather than erode, long-term architectural cohesion.
How I Think
I approach product design as layered system architecture.
Model the system first
Before designing flows, I clarify identity, ownership, and permission models. Architecture decisions determine scale and resilience.
Clarify high-risk moments
Security, policy, and ownership actions carry downstream consequences. I prioritize clarity where ambiguity creates risk.
Design for extension
Interaction patterns must support future growth. I look for reusable structures that accommodate product expansion without redesign.
Protect long-term coherence
Short-term fixes compound into fragmentation. I evaluate decisions against future maintainability, not immediate convenience.
Background
I hold an M.S. in Human–Computer Interaction from the University of Michigan, grounded in psychology and anthropology. My academic foundation informs how I model behavioral risk, decision-making patterns, and user trust within platform architecture.
Across my career, I’ve worked across loyalty programs, vehicle companion applications, and identity systems — progressively deepening my focus on foundational infrastructure that supports durable product ecosystems.
Currently
I’m exploring senior-level roles focused on cross-platform identity, ownership, and communication systems — particularly within environments where governance, scalability, and long-term cohesion matter.
Outside of work, I lead creative direction for Cafe March 21—illustrating, designing merch, and exploring how brand systems scale across products.
