Experienced product leader and designer.

I have over a decade of experience in product management, strategy, and design. With a background in Biomedical Engineering, I've mostly specialized in healthcare products. I have the privilege of serving as a founding designer and product leader at a biotech startup, as well as was a design leader at 23andMe. Through obsessing over metrics, user needs, and design, I bring to life experiences that not only captivate users but also simplify complex concepts.

I’m grateful to have worked with
exceptional companies.

I aspire to pay it forward through connection and mentorship.

I owe a lot to the kind people I had as mentors and sounding boards when I first started out in the design field. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if I can help at all. Read my story on getting into design at spillthebean.org
