I'm a product designer with 7 years of experience, currently working at Searchlight. I’ve worked on small businesses, self-employment, lending, and borrower experiences. Previously at Plaid, and Intuit before that.

My roots are firmly planted in research inquiry and UX problem solving; most recently expanding into visual problem solving. I love art and anthropology and what they can do for the world!
