About me

Senior UX
Designer

Since joining HMH in 2022, I've been designing experiences for K–8 educators and students, helping simplify classroom workflows and increase engagement across digital learning products. I partner with researchers, product managers, engineers, and stakeholders to transform educational challenges into intuitive, scalable experiences that support both teaching and learning.

What drives me

  • Customer obsessed

    I start with real needs and design solutions that genuinely help.

  • Make it simple

    I believe the best experiences are invisible. I remove friction and focus on what matters.

  • Drive impact

    I care about outcomes. I use data and feedback to make decisions and ship with confidence.
